# Discussion: Distributed Systems Basics
**Questions for think, pair, share:**

1. What is a distributed system, and why would we want one?

2. How is communication over networks different from the ways threads communicate?

3. What makes building distributed systems difficult?

*Start by thinking of answers on your own. I will let you know when to start discussion.*
