When reviewing a movie for my science fiction assignment I
viewed it digitally on my computer. The ease of using movies online is one that
I happen to like. I purchase movies from the Google Play store. There is much
competition in the market for viewing movies. The use of actual DVD’s is one
that I stopped using about two years ago. For some time I used free services
such as Hulu, however that is no longer a free service so I do not use it. The
competition is an example of Red Queens in that both digital and DVD movies are
sharing the same market and eventually one will win out over the other.
DVD’s are soon to be the thing of the past and will fall on
McLuhans tetrad under obsolete technologies. Video on demand services will be
under the enhance section of the tetrad by making videos available to a wider
audience that may not otherwise be able to obtain DVD’s.
