File sharing makes sending files such as documents, pictures, videos, to other people through the internet. You can send it to another computer online. Everyone does it and it’s as easy as using any website. There is also P2P file sharing which shares bigger sized documents. This method sends books, games and movies through a P2P network, which looks for other computers using this network as well (Wikipedia). P2P is also used for lending out loans and we see how this is possible in the article “Peers Find Less Pressure Borrowing From Each Other” by Wendy Kaufman. The article says that people go on websites like Lending Club or Prosper to borrow money and it is very simple. This makes it easier for people who need the money fast to do whatever they need to. Websites like these are grower bigger and bigger. This file sharing method makes it easy to share big files with your friends or anyone else who has a P2P network. For students, they can send textbooks that they have downloaded on the internet. P2P file sharing is going to continue to grow in popularity as the internet grows.
