The idea
Concurrent programming is the broadest term — tasks overlapping on one processor or many; parallel means genuinely simultaneous processors; distributed computing spreads parallelism across connected computers.
In practice
A class project overlaps tasks, splits some among members present, and sends the rest home with others.
Where people slip
Video 0053 already drew the first boundary; the third term is new.
