Reflection # 10

Netflix. I am sure everyone knows about Netflix. It is the movie service that is delivered to your door, for cheap. Well as if that was not enough, there is now Netflix you can order on your TV. I never knew about this. I do not know if it is new or years old and I am just discovering it, but either way it is incredible. The family I nanny for has this luxury. Basically they call, or order it online to be sent to their TV. They then have a remote that has an option for Netflix that they click. All the movies they have ordered or wish to view are right there on the TV. They have to do nothing! The only down fall to this is that it take about 3 to 5 minutes to recieve each time you watch the movie. But serioulsy? Who can't wait 3 to 5 minutes for a movie that they should have had to get at a store!? It is just crazy to me that we can now send a movie via TV to someones house. Yes, you have to have an account and the right technology inorder for this to work, but I am assuming that future TV's will have it programmed in without even needing to ask for it.
