Say what a streaming stick does
Explain what the little box on the back of the television is for.
A streaming stick is a small computer that plugs into a television and gives an older set the apps it was never built with.
The set becomes a screen. The stick does the thinking and brings its own remote.
Key points
- A streaming stick is a small computer that plugs into a television
- It brings apps and a remote to a set that had neither
What to remember
- The stick sits on one socket. You switch across to it.
- One small box, and an old set does new things.
