The Future of Media #80: Movies

(1) I think I would continue to prefer watching dvds on my television although I would have more portability with my laptop.

(2) I watched a trailer for "Shutter Island" on Hulu and think if I wanted more information than a television commercial or magazine ad would offer, this would be a good option. I also liked the news feature on Internet Movie Database.

(3) Since my movie viewing tends to be pretty spontaneous, I don't think I would use a fee-based service- especially with mail delivery. I'm happy with the convenience of using the library collection- broad selection, reasonable cko period, and free if returned on time.

The Future of Media #79: Television

(1) I browsed the Hulu site and viewed a portion of a full episode of "30 Rock". They had quite a few episodes available for the season provided.

(2) I haven't watched a TV show on my cell phone- I've never really had an interest in doing so- maybe a combination of the small screen and the fact that I prefer to tape my programs I might otherwise miss on my DVR and enjoy my time out of the house away from the TV.

(3) I have not yet posted a video on a site with streaming programs but I have enjoyed watching a few on YouTube.
