A Breaking Fever: Apple, Lies and Videotape
- jamesbritt 15y agoThe fact that most of us have ditched all our VHS tapes and perhaps even DVDs and converted to Blu-ray discs is a testament to that human need for modern, elegant, complete solutions. What? I've done no such thing, and know of no who has. I know people who may buy new stuff on Blu-ray, but most people I know are happy to watch something via some stream and never bother with storing a physical. Of those who do buy movies quite a few (such as myself) are quite happy with plain old DVD. I know nobody who is interesting in re-buying something they have on DVD to get it on Blu-ray. His point about TV show skepticism is dead-on for me. I've learned not to get invested in any show that hasn't made it to season 2. Sadly this leads to a self-fulfilling end; fewer people watch the first season because they have no confidence their attention will be rewarded, so ratings are poor and shows are not renewed for season 2.
