Physical Media — Who needs it?
The year is 2018 and for many the world has never been a better place for consuming media. After all — music, television and film are all just a click away and it is ubiquitous, too. You have it with you anywhere and everywhere. On your TV, your tablet, your mobile device — even a little black box you can throw in your carry-on; ready to plug into your favorite conveyance wherever you may have to lodge yourself on holiday or for that last minute business trip.
Yessireebob — there is nothing like digital media. Life has never been better since you cut your $60 a month cable bill and signed up for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube Red, HBO Now and Amazon Prime. The savings are rolling in now — and the convenience factor has never been better!
The savings are rolling in now!
Nothing beats access to Netflix while you’re holed up in Dumpwater, Florida — streaming Lost in Space at 360p across local DSL shared by 50 other guests.
You know what is really great, though? Always wondering what new stuff Amazon Prime has to offer every month. I mean, everything is a trade off, right? So what if you can’t watch Puss in Boots on there … anymore … you got House of Cards (shame about Kevin Spacey, but c’est la vie) and that other show your father-in-law keeps raving about.
