As the popularity of streaming services continues to grow and revolutionize, less and less people are continuing to use cable providers. Why continue to pay hundreds of dollars each month for cable, when you can sign up for various streaming services at an extremely lower cost.
Netflix is one of the most popular internet entertainment platforms used today, with over 167 million paid memberships. Interestingly enough, the idea of Netflix was created after owners Reed Hastings and Mark Randolph, became frustrated after being charged $40 for an overdue movie rental. The two created Netflix with the intention to run the business as an online-based DVD rental service, but later on developed the site into being solely subscription based. Today the site offers a wide range of movies. television shows, and new series created by Netflix.
I think that streaming services are one of the most extraordinary ways that communication technology has changed and developed. With a few clicks of the remote, thousands of films and shows are instantly ready to watch when desired. Services like Netflix make it easy to watch whatever you want, from anywhere. Using your subscription login, you can access Netflix from your TV, laptop, or mobile device.
When I was about 7 years and went on road trips with my family, we would load our small television into the car and pack dozens of movies to watch on VHS. When we wanted to rewatch the same movie, we had to rewind the VHS. I thought this was just about the coolest thing ever until cars started to come out with DVD players built into them. I find that this trend is even starting to fade since cell phones and laptops are easier to travel with and you basically have every movie you could ever want, right on the internet. I am interested to see how communication technology will continue to develop and change. Will DVD players soon feel old?
