Exploring the Impact of Streaming Services on Modern Media Consumption
As we delve into the 21st century, technology continues to astound us with its advancements. One such technology under the spotlight is online streaming services, having completely transformed the way we consume media. In just a few short years, they’ve transitioned from being a novelty to the main mode of media consumption, shaping our society, culture, and habits in unprecedented ways.
Initially, home entertainment was limited to what you had collected or what cable TV provided at the moment. Essentially, you had to physically possess a movie or show to watch it or hop onto a broadcasting schedule. The introduction of DVD rental services like Blockbuster began to change this, allowing people to choose from a vast array of options. However, the real shift came with the arrival of streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and Hulu amping up the convenience, diversity, and accessibility levels dramatically.
