Recently, I downloaded the Netflix application on my Xbox, and I signed up using my dad's account. I have since become addicted to all the programming avalible on the system. I have watched a movie (Blackhawk Down) and episodes of television shows (namely Family Guy and South Park). After all, I'm a teenage boy.
But my favorite thing about Netflix is the insane number of documentaries they have avalible. I really love learning about the military and the technologies they use, and I have watched documentaries on the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the role of Special Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. I want to watch Ken Burn's documentary on the Civil War next, because we just learned about it in AP US History this past week. However, we never got into the battles, and I want to watch this documentary so that I can see what they were like (looking forward to 4th term 3rd block military history with Berndt!)
It is just so nice to have the option of streaming this directly from my Xbox, rather than having to make a trek to the store in a snowstorm such as this just for a movie. This system is definetely the system of the future, as Netflix has noticed. Recently, they announced a new plan that only includes streaming. Already the video rental industry has taken a sharp hit, and now there will be even more competition for them. This system has changed and will to continue to change the video rental system as we know it.
Until next time followers, peace out. E-Sutts signing off.
The Netflix documentaries are awesome. Explore them all!
