its hard to send a massive data around
with buffers you split a data in smaller blocks and send them
instead of sending
9 you send 1 -> 1 -> 1 -> 1 -> 1-> ...so what happens while you're receiving the data
usually the tool you are using abstracts that away from you
so you "just wait"
be receiving or be sending

so it's like a variable being loaded ?
yes
interesting
with smaller chunks its easier to resend them
if you send a massive block of data, if a error happens, you have to send again
plus memory consumption
yh
is it applicable outside the context of the web or a network with latency
buffers in IT are more around memory and network
you have other kinds of "buffers" in other areas
networking its a whole field in IT itself
okay thanks 👍🏼
