Movies

    The lecture we did on movies is one of my favorite ones so far. While everyone knows how movies have come so far, from silent, to with sound, color, and now 3D, its no surprise its was a huge hit when it first came out and still now. Though I think that even though movies have advanced so much over the years with technology, the most interesting parts was the face that movie theaters would sell 90 million tickets per week in 1946. That's around 360 million tickets in one month. But even with movies always improving, so was other technology, which introduced the television.
    With t.v. around, by 1955 movie sales were already down to 46 million TPW, that's already half of its sales in nine years, and today, its been halved again to 23 million TPW. I think that this is crazy, movies is my favorite invention- besides Netflix. With movies you can watch an entire stories, characters, plots, worlds evolve right in front of your eyes in a matter of a couple of hours. With movie theaters you don't have interruptions from commercials, or outside forces, you can sit down watch this amazing story happen then go back to your lives, or watch it again.
    I believe movies are like newspapers, they're a time piece that might get smaller over the years, but they simply will never go away, they are just to important to our society.
