+# "By shifting data storage and processing from a local machine to a centralized server, 
+# users can access applications from anywhere, reduce hardware requirements,
+# and ensure data consistency. [Client/server architecture] offers significant advantages

+# Data Control: Because data stays on your local device and is not sent to a cloud server, 
+# you have total control over who accesses it.
+# Reduced Risk: The risk of data breaches or leaks, which are common with third-party,

+# Confidentiality: For AI applications or sensitive documents, local processing ensures 
+# your input data is not used to train external models." - Google Search

+# Also, you can tell, if you're connecting as a regular client, if the program is running properly.
