For those who don't know what Netflix is, Netflix is an 'on-demand' provider of popular movies and TV shows which you can stream instantly. By streaming, I mean you get to watch the movies and TV shows instantly instead of downloading them to watch later.

With Netflix, you actually demand what you want to watch instead of waiting for when your favorite TV show goes on air. So long as you have a steady Internet connection, you can stream Netflix on your;
  • Tablets (iPad, Android)
  • Smartphones (Android, iPhone)

The CEO of Netflix in his CES 2016 speech said that,

With the power of the internet, we are putting power in consumers' hands to watch whatever, whenever and on whatever device.
