In the past television had to be consumed weekly; now, with streaming services like Netflix, it is possible to watch whole seasons in one day. This new way of watching shows benefits companies like Netflix, especially now that their service is online rather than mailing DVDs, however it is worrisome for advertisers. Creators and producers also now have to face the challenge of writing shows with the binge viewer in mind. Netflix is encouraging this habit by automatically playing the next episode of a show without any effort from the viewer. Traditional TV and advertisers are threatened by binge watching. Neurologically though binge watching causes a kind of trance that causes the experience to seem more real. Some worry that shows were meant to be contemplated after viewing and this …show more content…
The idea that a full series release can give the same sense as watching a movie, only being broken up into episodes that could be consumed in my own time. “This model allows writers to do more than they could in a movie, given the time constraint. I’d even offer the viewpoint that this model allows for better storytelling overall. Netflix is the future of entertainment — storytelling as a service.” BEN BAJARIN, AUG 9, 2016 In comparison to the bachelor, where the content starts to become repetitive over the drama filed reality show, as no story line is evident. A boring episode will prompt them to watch something else or continue to a different activity. Different to stranger things here episodes flowed seamlessly after one another. Netflix’s ploy to keep episodes running seamlessly urgers binging, “interface starts playing the next episode after only 15 seconds before the closing credits sequence of the previous episode has finished,” (pg 311, JENNER).

Have you ever felt stuck? Wherever you are, it’s the absolute last place you want to be. In the book Into the Wild, Chris McCandless feels stuck just like the average everyday person may feel. Chris finds his escape plan to the situation and feels he will free himself by going off to the wild. I agree with the author that Chris McCandless wasn’t a crazy person, a sociopath, or an outcast because he got along with many people very well, but he did seem somewhat incompetent, even though he survived for quite some time.
... selection, a classic that people of all ages and genders love. The similarities in interest in this show and many others have led to many Netflix sessions ended shorter than originally planned. The scenario: a guy or girl would invite a partner, or partners (It’s 2016), over to “chill” these people would end up deciding on a show to binge. After a given amount of time bit one thing would lead to another- hence the title of the phenomenon: “Netflix and Chill”. All made possible by the PlayStation 4.
The epic poem, Beowulf, a work of fiction, offers more insight into Ancient Anglo-Saxon English culture than the work of Bede, who wrote, A History of the English Church and People. The epic poem Beowulf gives an enhanced illustration and clearer understanding of the culture of the Ancient Anglo-Saxon’s. The epic poem gives the audience a picture of what the Ancient Anglo-Saxon English valued; seafaring, warriors, heroes, and paganism.
Binge watching: “viewing multiple episodes of a television program in rapid succession”, is a phenomenon that television enthusiasts have embraced with the introduction of new technologies like SVOD, streaming video on demand, television consumption platforms unique to the digital age (“binge-watch,” def. 1). Services that offer SVOD such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime are even encouraging binge watching through their marketing practices and content creation (Greenberg). So why is binge watching, or rather binge viewing, an activity that people are participating in under the false assumption that it is a socially unacceptable guilty pleasure; an indulgence, just as eating an exorbitant amount of high-calorie foods is.
“Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature”. From the beginning of time man and nature has been in conflict with one another because, as a whole, there is no cooperating. Each one tirelessly wants its way. The Man is fighting for dominance and nature w never yielding its authority. In American Literature, many authors illustrate this theme in their writing. Specifically the writers Jack London in The Law Of Life, Stephen Crane The Open Boat and Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Fin. Each explores the relationship between humans and nature but with slightly different methods. Mark Twain uses nature in a realistic way, Jack London in a naturalistic way and Stephen Crane constitutes a combination of both.
Every day, more and more attempts of banning books and taking away the rights of our First Amendment get violated.

Hulu offers over 3,000 TV series where Netflix offers 1,197 TV shows. Netflix is streaming service widely used around the world, But could there be something better. Hulu also is a streaming service like Netflix but Hulu is the better streaming service due to that they do have better prices, update shows faster and have a wide variety of content. But stream shows from online was always not a popular thing as it is now.

What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves. One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you." This quote shows us what we need to do in order to be what society thinks as, “good". In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently. However people might think that by doing one good thing once in a while will automatically make you a “good person”, but in reality it doesn’t.
Fox News has always been the number one news source for US citizens. However after numerous incidents which I will elaborate now, your credibility has become poor. Firstly I want to discuss the intimidating of guest speakers on your open debates and interviews, if I remember correctly back in 2003 on the O’Reilly show. Mr Jeremy Glick was invited for an interview on why he signed a petition revolting against the Iraqi war. Mr O’Reilly proceeded to call Mr Glick uninformed and even threatened him to “Shut up.”

Dating. It’s just like checking out books in a library, except a little bit different. You peruse the bookshelves looking for the perfect book; you pick them up, read them and then return them if they’re not right for you. All the different genres are astonishing and finding the right one takes time, but eventually you pick up the right book, decide to read it, and then buy it all for yourself, keeping it forever. We wish it was that straightforward, after all, people are strikingly different from books.
After one episode is watched, the facial expression on one's face will display shock, due to the unexpected plot twist in the last 30 seconds of the one specific episode.
