In essence, streaming media is media (music, movies, documentaries) that you watch or listen to in real time. Traditionally, one would download a file onto your PC or laptop and only be able to watch it once the download has completed. With streaming, the file will download in the background whilst playing, so there is no delay (except if your Internet connection is a bit slow). Netflix, YouTube, and online podcasts are all different types of streaming media.

The story behind Netflix

Netflix was founded in 1997 in Scotts Valley, California by Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings. Randolph wanted to sell something over the Internet but was not quite sure what. Hastings then came up with the idea of renting out videos online after he was charged $40 in overdue fines for returning a copy of Apollo 13 late.

The Netflix website officially launched in 1998. At that time they had about 30 employees and about 925 items available to rent. The idea was that customers were sent DVDs via mail on a pay-per-rental basis where late and postal fees applied. In 1999 Netflix introduced the monthly subscription format that they still use today where you pay a flat-fee each month and get unlimited rentals. They now had no due dates to return rentals, no late fees, and no shipping and handling fees.

In 2000 Netflix introduced their movie recommendation service. By using their subscribers' ratings, they can accurately predict which movies a subscriber would enjoy watching next.

By 2005 Netflix accumulated 4.2 million members, and in 2007 it delivered its billionth DVD by mail.

Also in 2007, the company introduced video on demand (streaming) to its subscribers. For the first time members could watch television shows and movies instantly on their PC's and laptops. This marked the beginning of streaming media as we've come to know. In the following years they partnered with electronics companies to allow streaming on the Xbox 360, Blu-ray disc players and smart TVs. In 2010 Netflix became available on Apple's iPad and iPhones, Nintendo Wii, and other Internet connected devices.

The effect of Netflix and streaming media on culture globally

Since the adoption of its streaming media service, Netflix has had a huge impact on culture and the way in which people view television today. On the positive side, it has allowed consumers to become more empowered. People now have a choice in what they watch and when they watch it. Traditional media, like television networks, has infamously been seen as entities who dictate what we watch with no input from the viewers. With Netflix's revolutionary recommendation system (and other similar streaming services), subscribers can now receive content based on their individual and unique interests. Simply put, subscribers have the freedom to choose what they watch and when they want to watch it.

There is also an argument that streaming services have a beneficial impact on the environment. Instead of selling new products that will eventually become waste, streaming services provide the same thing over and over to different people without the negative impact on the environment. According to research, streaming a movie requires 78% of the energy it takes to ship a physical copy. However, even though less physical waste is created, streaming accumulates a carbon footprint that is 100% higher due to the energy required by data centres to virtually store the content.

Furthermore, there is the concern that streaming media creates a culture where people want things immediately and don't do well with having to wait. Gaining access to streaming media requires far less patience than watching regular television. The worry amongst some is that this will eventually create a society full of entitled people who will never learn the value of patience, required in everyday life.

The full impact of services such as Netflix on traditional media is yet to be seen, but there is no doubt that it has become a part of worldwide culture, and changed the way we receive and create content. While television viewing remains popular, and on the increase, people want to have the flexibility to watch their series or movies on whatever device they choose. Streaming media is not signalling the end of television, but it is has definitely changed the way in which we view it across the world. It has also succeeded in making viewing more accessible globally, and in doing so created a more cohesive global audience.
