Learning Akka (Video 2)

The video tutorial introduces the actor model, emphasizing the need for concurrency in modern applications. It explains the challenges of shared mutable state and the limitations of Moore's Law, which necessitate the use of multiple cores and threads. The actor model is presented as a solution, with actors being entities that handle messages and maintain state. An analogy is used to illustrate how actors work, setting the stage for further exploration of concurrency concepts in subsequent videos.

How do actors communicate and what are the implications of this communication model?

Provide an analogy to explain how actors function in a concurrent system.
