INTERNET EXPERIENCE

I wish I could say I love streaming, but then I will be lying to myself because as much as I hate to admit, I have never liked the Internet experience in my country. I streamed for the first time during my blackberry days, I did not need a prophet to tell me I hated the buffing wait time. The fact that I would have to wait for it to load is annoying at times. The only time I use the Internet in such a manner is when I am participating in a zoom meeting and have to just be online because my presence is needed. Apart from this I have no reason to stream anything. I have never followed a celebrity so much that I would stream their live videos, and even with how much I love football, I hate streaming it live.

I hate to wait, I prefer to just let the whole action play out and download afterwards. This is why I don't know a lot of streaming platforms. I'm currently writing this post outside my apartment but inside my compound and I see some of my neighbors streaming the live match of Leicester city Vs Manchester United. They say football brings people together, of which I can see has brought some of my neighbors together, but I will rather follow the live commentary from my football app that has all the stats of the match and every vital information. This is because at the end of the day, I even get the informations before those streaming which shows how slow their network is.

As I write at this moment, there is already a goal scored, but the streamers haven't gotten to the part. 😂 Okay they are just seeing the goal making them about two minutes late. This is why I do not see the need to stream, I can just download the highlights and watch later. This is another reason I don't follow the blogs, so they don't kill my anticipation to watch. Instead I wait for an hour to download it and enjoy it without interruptions. Plus I can pause it to do other things and return back at my convenience. This might not be a lot, but I will prefer it to getting interrupted by the useless networks we have around here. If I have the money, I will prefer to be at the live venue.
