Ways of using threads:
1) When an object has to be notified by other objects.
2) Multiple logic/computations are required to run concurrently. (wait/sleep/notify stage is not required if no shared resources)
3) Run it as?an usual method (only one thread is running and performing a finite sequence of codes)?
4) When a process has to deal with multiple requests/actions. (server/ one-to-many)
5) When a bunch of objects have to deal with multiple requests/actions from each other. (many-to-many)
6)... you name it....
7) When you want to create a deadlock.. (Ask if you do not know how)
