GlobalScope

GlobalScope is a way in programming, specifically in Kotlin, to start a background task or operation that runs independently of other parts of the program. Think of it as launching a task that continues to run no matter what happens elsewhere in the app, and it doesn't depend on a specific component being active. This is useful for tasks like fetching data or processing information that should keep going regardless of user interaction. However, using GlobalScope requires care, because if not managed properly, it can lead to tasks that run too long or cause resource issues.
