Information Technology vs Movie Watching Culture
A research report that argues how information technology has shaped movie watching culture to be a more solitary activity. This research required thorough analyses of journal articles that proved my thesis or argued against it.
What does the future of movie watching look like?
​
That was the question I pondered while researching the impact of
information technology on movie watching culture. As technology
improves we can see how it has evolved the way we watch movies,
for instance:
-
Operas to drive in theaters
-
Drive in theaters to multiplex cinemas
-
Multiplex cinemas to streaming films at home
​
This led to the thesis that cinemas will slowly become obsolete as more
and more people will begin choosing streaming at home over going out.
There are many reasons why I was led to this belief, such as:
-
It is more cost efficient
-
It is more comfortable
-
At-home theater technology is now on par, if not better, than many
-
cinemas
​
Do you also see the future looking like this? When was the last time you
went to the theater to see a movie? Do you wait for new releases to
come to streaming platforms? I am interested to know!
