Going Digital

(Pardon my Spongebob reference haha)

I didn't even know that film was still used anymore. D: Dang! But this could be huge! If films went full out digital, movies could be shown more easily and efficiently, potentially making movie tickets less expensive. Yay! I can potentially go on more movie dates with my boyfriend!

Unfortunately, this could be bad news for smaller theaters that are having enough trouble as is. I guess going all digital (to quickly) could really hurt a group of people. :( People have already lost jobs because of film production industries going out of business and small theaters could possibly close. That's kind of upsetting if you really think about it.

Companies have been skeptical to take a step towards innovating movie theaters because they don't want to loose the parts of their market that can only screen film. This seems reasonable I guess. Business is business and the larger the market, the better. But ultimately, times will have to change eventually, so maybe it is better to take the step and hope the markets can eventually catch up. But, then again, I can see why that would be an extremely bad idea...

I think this is an amazing feat for the media industry. If movies can be streamed at a higher quality for a fraction of the cost, that would mean that more people would come to the movies and that has the potential to bring in even more money than ever.

Things like this make me ponder the progression of technology and when it will ultimately leave us all behind, just as it did with our parents and our grandparents. What's next? Movies being streamed directly into our heads? Oh my...

Boo boo bop

Should all film industries convert to this digital format? Do the pros outweigh the cons and will the damage be insignificant enough? Who will suffer the greatest from this dramatic change?
