Examples of technically impractical projects

As a freelancer, you may encounter clients with unrealistic expectations. Here are some examples of technically impractical projects: # Web Development 1. Creating a website that loads in under 1 second with 10,000 high-resolution images: This is unrealistic due to the sheer amount of data that needs to be loaded. 2.

Developing an app that can track a user's location without using GPS or cellular data: This is technically impossible without using GPS or cellular data. 3. Building an app that ca...
