In the event the internet first started, or first came into the general consciousness of lots of people in America it was not much of anything. I can remember playing some very rudimentary games in line with the Nickelodeon tv show The Secret World of Alex Mack. I remember reading some really terrible articles about several of my favorite bands. But mostly, I remember being nonplussed about the whole thing. What was this thing going to do for me other than have me hunched over a desk reading low quality junk?
Well obviously the jury is no longer out over the internet and we all now and seemingly will forever live on the net. It has made communication easier but also fundamentally different. The same could possibly be said about shopping and researching subjects of interest. It has made a wealth and selection of entertainment completely free. This last one is likely the biggest shift for me personally as well as for a number of people I know also. This is because things such as the movie theater begin to lose their luster when you discover that you may watch free watching full series online movies online. It becomes difficult to rationalize the $12 price tag most theaters are charging currently when you might get new free movies online. Not that the largeness of the theater will not have its charms. If I can watch documentaries online, like those made by PBS, why would I bother having a television not to mention paying ever rising cable costs?
The Net is a vast wonderland of entertainment available whenever you want it with little to learn cost at all. There is a bad element to all of this keep in mind, mostly that it has become increasingly difficult for artists and entertainers to receive money for the work that they may be doing. Still there is an upside as well. With the ease it takes to put funny videos online or your weird short films online nearly anybody can release their work as well as have it seen by a wide variety of people. As a result people are ready to check out things they might not have seen back once they were seriously considering the best way to best utilize their precious entertainment money.
I think at this point it’s best for the whole world to check out a great deal of different things on the web from free indie films to short films, but to also take the leap and hit up the theater every now and again or maybe occasionally buy a DVD. This seems like the best way to keep the movies I want coming and keep myself informed.
