A thread is in fact just that, a thread. Something simple. A simple chain of computing that is set up as in 'a row'. A chain of commands that can be useful to the programmers needs. Sometimes the programmers can actually control the flow of events that take place, but most commonly that is up to the programming language to do it for him.
Most useful is the 'multichannel' programming threads, that are distributed along different paths to be gathered up in the end. Each thread can then be processed independently of each other in a multiprocessor environment. Therefore these 'threads' can be assembled (sometimes) and put forrward to the user at a higher speed tha otherwise possible.
