Video Streaming
Video streaming is the method of delivering video content over the internet in real-time, allowing users to watch it as it plays without needing to download the full file first. This technology has transformed how we consume media by enabling instant access to vast libraries of content on devices like smartphones and smart TVs. In modern contexts, it's not just about entertainment but also powers live events, education, and remote work.

The first internet video stream was demonstrated in 1993 by researchers at Xerox PARC, but it wasn't until 2005 that YouTube launched and popularized the format, now seeing over 500 hours of video uploaded every minute globally. This explosive growth has led to video streaming accounting for more than 80% of global internet traffic as of 2023, reshaping how we interact with information and entertainment.
