Streaming

The stream (also called transmission, continuous reading, diffusion

flow reading transit diffusion continuous, continuous discharge or

mediaflujo) is digital multimedia distribution via a computer network,so that the user consumes the product (usually audio or video file) in

parallel while downloading. Streaming the word refers to a

continuous stream which flows without interruption.

This technology works through a buffer storing data to be what it

downloads to the user station and then show the downloaded

material. This is in contrast to the mechanism of downloading files,which requires the user to download complete files to access its

content.

Streaming

The term is usually applied to broadcast audio or video. Streaming

requires a connection at least of equal bandwidth than the

transmission rate of the service.

Streaming video became popular in the late 2000s, when the

bandwidth became cheap enough for much of the population.

However, with the technology of streaming a file can be

downloaded and played at the same time, so the waiting time is

minimal

Streaming

Data streaming, commonly seen in the forms of audio and video

streaming, is when a multimedia file can be played back without

being completely downloaded first.

Most files, like shareware and software updates that you download

off the Internet, are not streaming data.

However, certain audio and video files like Real Audio and

QuickTime documents can be streaming files, meaning you can

watch a video or listen to a sound file while it's being downloaded

to your computer. With a fast Internet connection, you can actually

stream live audio or video to your computer.

Lifestreaming

The term lifestream was coined by Eric Freeman and David

Gelernter at Yale University in the mid-1990s to describe "...a time-

ordered stream of documents that functions as a diary of yourelectronic life.

Every document you create and every document other people

send you is stored in your lifestream. The tail of your stream contains

documents from the past (starting with your electronic birth

certificate).

Moving away from the tail and toward the present, your stream

contains more recent documents --- papers in progress or newelectronic mail; other documents (pictures, correspondence, bills,

movies, voice mail, software) are stored in between.

Lifestreaming

Moving beyond the present and into the future, the stream contains documents you will need: reminders, calendar items, to-do lists. The point of lifestreams isn't to shift from one software structure to another but to shift the whole premise of computerized information: to stop building glorified file cabinets and start building (simplified, abstract) artificial minds; and to store our electronic lives inside"[1]

Lifestreams are also referred to as social activity streams or social streams.

Lifestreamers
