Thinking back to when I was younger, I can recall going to the local Blockbuster down the street and being excited to pick a movie and watch it. Rental time limits were made to keep people from permanently owning these films. Once you were done watching a film you rented, you would have to drive back to the store and drop it in the return bin.
With today's technology, all you have to do is click a button on your remote and you rent the latest movies. Streaming movies and TV allow an easy access to whatever you want to watch. Soon after this technology was introduced, Blockbuster stores were shut down. No one no longer felt the need to leave their households and drive to the store to rent a movie when they could just go OnDemand and select the latest films.
Like VHS we can see how DVD and BlueRay is phasing out. Does anyone think this will happen to our modern television and movie formats? What is the next step for technology in terms of access to TV and movies?
