Stream. Binge-Watch. And then, stream some more. That's media in the age of non-stop Internet and unlimited content. We are living in an age where media content is available on several platforms, all-day-round and on-the-go. In fact, spoilt for choice seems like an understatement when it comes to the diversity of media content which is streamed into people's lives, these days. Streaming and viewing have become a cultural phenomenon of its own: a living, thriving, all-encompassing microcosm that not just reflects, but also shapes and moulds every aspect of our lives. From changing the way the world watches and listens-in isolation on individual devices, to providing access to boundless content from across the world; to introducing new genre of content, newer perspectives of the world-streaming has indeed become worldview-changing culture. Nowadays, users watch content that they pay for, more actively than the content they get for free while the whole process of streaming has integrated the accessibility of information into the economy, at both local and global levels, with free, paid and premium services. Streaming has thus shaped several facets of our collective life from pop culture to media accessibility while giving rise to debates and deliberations on so many related areas. At Mediatron 2019, let us delve into the larger discourse of streaming, and explore all its possibilities contributing to the bigger picture of Internet culture.
