description Exercise
I loved watching movies when I was younger. On a Friday after school, I would look forward to renting a movie. I went with my dad to the rental shop and picked a film. We took the video home and watched it together. But movie watching is different now.
Some people stream movies. A stream is a small, flowing body of water. But to stream means to watch or listen to media live. We stream movies through the internet. There is no need to buy movies anymore.
Netflix is a streaming service. You pay a monthly subscription fee. Then, you have access to on-demand movies and television. There are thousands of movies and television shows to watch. It would take a lot of binge-watching to watch them all!
Some people don't like watching movies on a computer. The screen is not as big. But thanks to technology, you can cast the movie to a screen. Watching on a television gives a better experience.
Most new movies are released in the theatre first. You must wait to watch them at home. But some movies are available on pay-per-view. That means you rent the movie online. You pay a one-time fee. You can watch the movie, but you cannot keep it.
Lots of sports are available on pay-per-view. People pay to watch boxing live. The companies make lots of money from viewers.
It is not only movies that can be streamed. We can stream music. Spotify is a popular music streaming service.
You can also stream podcasts there. A podcast is an audio file. Some are about the news. Some are about business. They have replaced radio shows. Radio shows are live. But you can listen to a podcast when you are free.
YouTube is a place to watch content. Creators create vlogs about their lives. A vlog is a video log.
People film themselves throughout their day. Some people show you what they eat. Some people show you the fun things that they do. It is fun to learn about people's lives.
Creators can stream live to YouTube. People can leave comments on their stream. The creators can reply. It creates a good relationship between viewers and creators.
We need the internet for streaming music and movies. It is important to have a good internet connection while streaming. If not, you may experience lag. Lag is when your video or audio stops and starts. It can be annoying!
Watching movies has changed a lot. Lots of shops have closed because of streaming. There is no need for rental shops anymore. But streaming is a lot easier. We can watch movies when we want. Could you imagine life without streaming?
