    Streaming technology refers to a method of transmitting or receiving data (particularly audio and video) over the internet in a continuous flow, allowing users to consume content in real-time without having to download the entire file first. This technology enables live broadcasting and on-demand playback, facilitating access to content such as movies, music, live events, and games directly from devices such as computers, smartphones, and smart TVs.

    Streaming involves various protocols and platforms that ensure efficient delivery and buffering of media, adapting to network speed and conditions. Key aspects of streaming technology include codecs for compressing the data, streaming servers for hosting content, and client applications for playback. Popular examples of streaming technologies include services like Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, and Twitch, which leverage the internet to deliver a vast array of multimedia content seamlessly.
