This here thing, what they call Eaststream, you know, it’s like that picture show on the TV, but it ain’t just regular TV. It’s somethin’ else. They say it’s for watchin’ things live, like it’s happenin’ right then and there. Now, I don’t rightly understand all this fancy technology stuff, but I heard folks talkin’, and I’m gonna tell you what I know. Just like I heard it down at the market.
First off, you gotta have one of them smart things, like a phone or a TV, not the old boxy kind, but the flat ones. Then you gotta have this Eaststream thing on it. I reckon it’s like gettin’ a new channel, but not the kind you pay for every month. They say you can watch all sorts of things on it. Like sports games and such. And some folks say you can watch folks that you know on there too. It’s like a big window to all sorts of things.
Now, some folks, they use this thing called “Roku” or “Amazon Fire TV.” Sounds like a fire in the woods to me. But it ain’t. It’s another one of them gadgets you hook up to your TV. It’s like a little helper for your TV to get this Eaststream thing. You plug it in, and then, bam, you got it. That’s what they say, anyway. I ain’t got one of them myself. But folks who do say it is easy as pie.
They say you gotta “install” somethin’. Sounds like puttin’ in a new fence post. But it ain’t that neither. It’s like tellin’ your TV what to do, I guess. You gotta put this Eaststream “app” on your TV, or on that Roku or Fire TV thing. It’s like givin’ it instructions. Then it knows what you want it to show you.
And if you ain’t got that fancy TV, they say you can use your phone. You just gotta get that Eaststream app on your phone too. Then you can watch it right there in your hand. Ain’t that somethin’? The world right there in your pocket. I saw someone doing that the other day at the general store. They were watching a ball game on there.
They talk about “streaming.” Like a creek flowin’. I guess it means the picture show is comin’ to your TV or phone like water down a creek. It ain’t stored up like them old video tapes. It’s just comin’ as it happens. They say its important to have a good “streaming solution” whatever that means. I guess that means having the right things to make it all work.
Now, for the folks who put the shows on Eaststream, they need other things. Like a camera, I reckon. And somethin’ to catch the sound. They call ’em “video and audio tools.” Just like tools you’d use in the garden, but for makin’ these picture shows. They need a good camera, not like the one I have that takes blurry pictures. And a good thing for catchin’ sound. I don’t know what they call it. But it’s gotta be good, or else you won’t hear nothin’ but static.
It’s all a bit much for me, to be honest. But young folks, they seem to understand it just fine. They’re always on their phones, watchin’ things. I guess this Eaststream is just another one of them things they watch. If you wanna watch somethin’, you just gotta find it on this Eaststream. That is what I heard.
Choosing how you are gonna watch this thing is important. They say it is the hardest part. I don’t know why. Seems like you just pick one and go with it. But what do I know? I am just repeating what I heard. This is important for your Eaststream experience. It is like picking what shoes you are going to wear for the day. You want something comfortable.
- You need a smart TV or a phone.
- You need this Eaststream app thing.
- You might need a Roku or that Amazon Fire TV thing.
- You gotta “install” the app, whatever that means.
- Then you can watch all sorts of things, live!
Well, that’s all I know about this Eaststream. It’s a lot of hocus pocus if you ask me. But the young folks seem to like it. Maybe you will too. I think I will just stick to my regular TV, but if you want to see things live, maybe this is for you. It is all very confusing. But I hope this helped you some. This Eaststream is surely something, and if you want to get into it, now you know how. Or at least, you know as much as I do. And that’s something, ain’t it?
The world is changing fast. Too fast if you ask me. But these young ones, they keep up with it all. This Eaststream is just another thing that they all know about. And now, maybe you know a little somethin’ about it too. I heard that some folks even make money from this thing. Now that sounds interesting. Maybe I should look into that. But how? I don’t know the first thing about it. Maybe one of these young folks can show me. Or maybe I will just stick to my knitting. Yes, that sounds much better. This whole Eaststream thing is just too much for me.
