Diffusion of Innovations

    Netflix began to get more attention in the early 2000s. So many of the early adopters of Netflix liked it so much because it was convenient for the customers. It also had lots to choose from so you don't have to worry about them not having something you wanted to watch. A lot of people decided to change to online streaming services like Netflix because it is cheaper than having to pay for cable.I personally have noticed that when you are watching cable they often play over the same shows or movies. But with Netflix you don't have to worry about having nothing to watch because they change out what they offer every so often. Netflix also does not make you wait for a new episode of a show, it offers you the whole season so that you can binge watch whenever you want. 

    But for some people that is not what they are wanting. Some people even refuse to get any streaming services like Netflix. Some people say that they like to use cable because their shows are not available on streaming services or that the internet is unreliable at times and can cause slow services. Cable also offers a wide range of channels while streaming services like Netflix only offer one kind of content. Some of the down sides of streaming services like Netflix is that it causes binge watching.
 Binge watching can cause health risks like having an addictive personality, sleeping problems, and even cause you to develop depression, anxiety and even loneliness. The other thing that is bad about streaming services is that it makes younger kids not want to enjoy being outside and hanging out with friends. I think overall it is a good idea to get services like Netflix if you are older because most of the time you don't have time to binge watch a show. And lots of times friends like to watch shows together and not having to watch ads is a plus.
