Streaming

Streaming refers to the process of transmitting or receiving multimedia content, such as audio, video, or games, over the internet in real-time. Unlike traditional downloading, where users must wait for the entire file to be downloaded before playback can begin, streaming allows users to start accessing and consuming content almost immediately, as it is delivered in a continuous stream. Popular streaming services include video-on-demand platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, music streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, and live streaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube Live. Streaming has revolutionized the way people consume entertainment and media, providing instant access to a vast array of content across multiple devices, including smartphones, tablets, computers, and smart TVs.

Think of streaming as a digital conveyor belt. Just as a conveyor belt continuously moves items from one place to another, streaming continuously delivers multimedia content to users, providing a seamless and uninterrupted viewing or listening experience.
