Streaming
含义: Broadcasting live video content online.
Streaming has two meanings: broadcasting live content (streamers on Twitch/YouTube) or consuming content on-demand (Netflix streaming). Both meanings derive from data flowing continuously rather than downloading first. For creators, streaming transformed entertainment—anyone can broadcast live to global audiences. For consumers, it killed the DVD and transformed TV. 'Streaming' as a career wasn't conceivable pre-2010; now top streamers earn millions.

起源与历史
The technical term 'streaming' (continuous data transmission) dates to the 1990s internet. YouTube (2005) and Netflix's streaming service (2007) brought passive streaming mainstream. Active streaming—live broadcasting—emerged through platforms like Justin.tv (2007, later Twitch) and later YouTube Live. By the 2010s, 'streaming' had become everyday vocabulary for both content consumption and creation, fundamentally changing entertainment industry economics.
