Only a decade ago, most people watched most of their favorite TV shows and movies on television. Nowadays, streaming services like Netflix have taken over the media industry. To such an extent, this trend is only likely to continue.
Why has streaming taken over the media industry, and why are streaming companies now the most watched forms of media in most areas of the world?
The convenience -- One of the biggest reasons for watching streaming TV shows and movies is due to the convenience.
Years ago, the only way to watch your favorite shows and movies was to be in front of the television when they were aired. Later on, shows could be recorded via video tape and then watched later.
With streaming, however, every show or movie you want to watch is on demand. That means you can watch it at any time that is convenient for you.
The enormous number of choices -- Most streaming services have thousands of shows and movies to choose from, and many of them are new.
In fact, most people have a list of shows and movies they want to watch that is so large they will never have time to see all of them.
Watch anywhere -- Streaming services like Netflix even allow you to watch your favorite shows whether you are in your own country or traveling somewhere else.
That means you can watch them on the bus on the way to work or even watch them while on holiday in Spain.
Downloading options -- Some of the better streaming services allow you to download the shows you want to watch.
That means you can watch them anywhere that does not have Internet access, including when you are flying from one country to another on a plane.
