There was
a time when Internet speeds were a paltry 56kbps, and websites with pictures
were considered cutting edge. Thanks to advances in technology, though, the
average Internet connection in the country is now a respectable 6 Mbps,
allowing folks to watch videos online with little trouble.
Indeed, watching
or “streaming” movies online has become a viable alternative to visiting the
local theater, and this new means of content consumption offers many benefits:
Watch
When You Want To
Online streaming allows you to watch content when
you want to, not when a TV station or movie house chooses to show it. Streaming
sites also commonly host older content that you simply can’t watch anywhere
else.
Save
Space
If you’ve ever downloaded a movie before, you know
how large their file sizes can be. Unfortunately, there’s only so many flicks
you can download before your hard drive fills up. Thankfully, video streaming
circumvents this dilemma because all content is hosted on a remote server—you
just use your browser to view it.
It’s Free
While some streaming services charge a monthly fee,
providers offer movies and documentaries at absolutely no cost. Hence, you can
watch cult favorites like Alien Abduction
and Mega Piranha at the comfort of
your own home without spending any money at all.
