We are so lucky we live in this time period. Remember the days of waiting on long lines for the highly anticipated new release? Even having to camp out for the die hard fans in us? (not that I ever did) Or when we would go to our local video store to get one of the last copies of the movie we never got to see in the theater, only realizing about a dozen people before beat you to it. How about you get a DVD to rent but your copy has been scuffed and scratched making it unplayable and ruining your night. Times have changed...for the better.
With the ability to stream directly to your home, it makes all those points moot. Streaming is as simple as it gets. As long as you have a strong Internet connection such as cable or DSL with a router, and an Internet ready device whether it is a TV, Blu-ray or video game console. Add a service like Amazon Prime or Netflix, and you are ready to roll.
To live in a period in time, that allows us to receive information at our fingertips almost instantaneously, is something our ancestors couldn't even dream of. The capability to watch entertainment instantly goes back to pay per view. Now with the ability to search for and watch movies immediately, is something we should all take advantage of. Especially when it appears that more and more movies are being released this way and bypassing the movie theater all together.
Movies are such a fantastic form of entertainment, and with so many different ways to watch them, makes it even better. Whether it is at the theater or at home, take advantage of streaming a movie. Then watch another...and another.....
