In the book entitled "The Road Ahead", a certain chapter discussed the possibility of streaming audio and video. Such a breakthrough would result in video and audio on demand. Guess what? Because of the improvements on
digital information technology since the book was released, video on demand is now a possibility! If video on demand is possible, what more would audio on demand be?
Websites on the internet now provide streaming audio and video to its viewers free of charge. You just need to do a search on Google or any search engine for a website that provides audio and
video streams absolutely free. When the matches pile up, it's up to you to decide which website would satisfy your audio visual cravings! Just remember, if audio streams require fast and efficient data transfers, what more would video streams be needing for the videos to run as smoothly as possible?
Well, that would have to be a fast internet connection. A DSL connection is supposedly the minimum requirement, but you could have a glimpse of video streaming technology with a dial-up connection as well. That is, provided you are being given a fast dial-up internet connection by your internet service provider. But I highly suggest you get a DSL connection for your video streaming experience to be something worth your time. After all, with an ADSL modem and a DSL connection, what would hinder you from accessing video on demand services from numerous video providers?
