Refer to the flowchart of video buffering and the words given to fill in the gaps in this description of buffering: Streaming is a way of dealing with bandwidth problems when you download video from the Internet. One key to successful streaming is the process of buffering. If you download a movie, the video player stores part of the movie in memory while playing it. Imagine the buffer as a container filled from the top as shown in the flowchart. When the container is full, the player sends data on for playback from the bottom. Data keeps coming in while a clip plays. The user can view the beginning of the movie while the rest of the clip downloads.

Playback continues at a steady rate until the buffer is empty. Unit 3: Web Design Task 1: Discuss these questions: 1. Why do companies have websites?
