👉 Bittorrent is a term that originates from a slang phrase "the download" which means downloading something without having to physically copy it yourself. It's like being able to access the internet and never leaving your house.

Here’s an example: "Hey there, folks! Just wanted to catch ya up on what's bittorrent right now. The download, you know... not exactly how we use it, but the idea of just downloading something without having to physically copy it is pretty cool." It’s unsettling because it implies that downloading something without physical possession feels like a major step away from owning or controlling the material. It’s also a metaphor for an electronic medium where people can easily share information and files on-demand without the need for actual hard drives.
