subject: Technology And The Capability To Watch Movies Online [print this page] It's a fact that today's technology has made the world smaller, and there is much more accessibility to the things we want on demand. TV, for example, has changed so much in the last few years, that the industry is on par with information technology, with some set top boxes becoming obsolete after just a few months, with newer features being added - such as HD, storage space for recorded programs, and even gaming facilities. With that being said, the biggest industry in entertainment drives most of these technological changes, and those who want to watch movies online or on demand are catered for primarily, along with those who want to watch sports and sporting events.
Most of the people who watch movies online usually have access to the same movies on their TV package with cable or digital satellite, yet still prefer to watch movies online because of the options available. When you watch a movie on your set top box for example, you may be subject to a time limit to watch said movie, or you may only be able to get the movie to play in standard definition, but you really want to watch it in HD. Watching movies online enables you to choose from a myriad of viewing possibilities, and you can literally take your pick from some of the online providers.
For those wishing to explore the methods that enable them to watch movies online, they are often shocked that they can do so simply using their browser with the standard plugins and codes they already have on their computer when it is shipped from the vendor. For example, the codes (code/decode files that enable your browser or media player to play the files) required to watch file formats online are now included with Windows 7 and subsequent updates will most probably have this included too.
Whilst the world becomes smaller, and we are given access to this range of viewing capabilities, it is difficult to imagine life without this accessibility. We wish for more things on demand, and the most common problem people have with TV packages that include movies on demand, is that they do not have the amount of titles available as you would when you choose to watch movies online. There simply isn't enough money in the pockets of the big TV companies to do so. Watching your favourite movies online is simpler, provides MORE choice, and is also more accessible. This is why it is usually the clear winner for the consumer.
