We stream media like TV shows, movies, podcasts, and videos through our smartphones, computers, TVs, and tablets. We do it to entertain ourselves, to stay in touch with family and friends, and to get up-to-date news. Streaming is so much a part of daily life that we might only think about the technology that makes it happen when it doesn’t work. In this book, readers will learn what’s actually happening when they stream something—the science of streaming! Colorful photographs, accessible text, relatable examples, and graphic organizers help readers understand the basics of this amazing technology.
