If you've ever made a formula in Excel, you've done reactive programming.

If you put =A1+B1 in the cell C1, you're saying you want C1 to be updated every time A1 or B1 is updated. That's also what you do in reactive programming.

Or, in other words: this value is based on changes from these other values.
