ELI5 why you can instantly watch HD movies and shows through cable television without buffering or latency, but it takes time to simply load a picture on the internet. 

I'm assuming it has something to do with having to download internet files temporarily on your computer. But why can't the information on a website be viewed like I view a cable television connection?

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe it is the difference between broadcast and ~~pier to pier~~ peer to peer.

On the web, you request a specific hamburger. And some server goes and gets you one wanted that is stored somewhere.

A television/radio station will simply throw hamburgers to everyone all the time. If you want one, you can catch it.

In the digital world it is a bit more complicated. There are a few handshakes going on. But the premise is the same. It is still basically a broadcast. Any errors in communication will be displayed as static or simply a lost of signal or lack of refresh. There is very little pinging back. The data mostly flows one way. Whereas your computer is constantly checking data for errors and communication.
