Film Review

The Great Train Robbery film of 1903 was a very unique experience. Not only because it was black and white, but mainly because they only sound throughout the movie was music that was played. I think at one time this would been a very fun form of entertainment with you friends to make up what was actually being said. But for me today it was slightly hard to watch and for reasons that are probably my own fault. It takes a lot to pay attention and to understand the crucial parts of what are happening. It is easy to understand the main points but it’s the little things that happen that I would like to understand better. However, the film was certainly a unique experience to have.

Blue Store or Redbox?

I am a Redbox person, however I do not use it regularly. I really like Redbox because it is a spur of the moment business that when you feel the need to watch a movie that you do not have at home rather cheaply you can always adventure to your nearest Rebox and select a movie. This is convenient because there are many around town and are open 24/7 so when ever the mood strikes you can get a movie. Since I am a normal college kid and do not always plan things I can easily use Redbox.

Gather Around

Since, the radio was out years before the television I do believe that I could spend a decent amount of time listening to different radio shows. There was never any other portable entertainment until this time so it was like a reward. The old time radio shows where actually very funny, and interesting. They allowed you to use your imagination in a different and creative way. Now if they radio came out after television I do not know if I could listen to it as much because I already knew television, and it would be hard to migrate away from it.

Napster or iTunes

I am an iTunes user all the way. My love for apple products started with the iPod, then to the MacBook, and now my iPad. I believe the reason I love iTunes so much is that it works so well with all my technology, and lets me access all my music, videos, and movies from any of my devices. If I was not such a believer in my apple products, I could easily see myself using Napster. But since I am already hooked on iTunes, Napster does not have a chance. 

The end of paper?

Personally I believe Newspapers are slowly dying in their original form. In todays age many people have digital devices that allows them to receive the same information and many times the same article more conveniently and even free. I have an iPad and can honestly say that I usually then only paper I read in the USA Today on my iPad. Granted when I go home I do read my parents subscription of the Grass & Grain, however, it is a trade newspaper and it could have an advantage compared to  standard newspapers since it targets farm families and they are usually more loyal to a newspaper and less towards technology.
