Beware: Technology in Theatres Advances

The up and coming new world can be a sad and also a happy time for many people. Not too many technology advances that happened 30, 20, or even 10 years ago still exist today. There are constantly new changes being made about just about every field out there. Medicine and technology are two major categories. These advances can be challenging and breath taking at first, but once a few years pass by, it soon becomes old news.

There can be positive effects to new advances though. The date of age is constantly regrouping, rebuilding, and reforming to make this community a better place for the citizens. Without the latest advances, maybe we would still be riding horses as our motive for transportation. According to the article in the Omaha World Herald, “Days of Film Dying As Theatres Goes Digital”, Matt Mains says, "Digital is good business from a studio point of view, it's cheaper, distribution-wise." Cost efficient ways of getting by are becoming more popular. The television industry seems to growing more rapidly, not only at home but in theatres. The effects seem to be good.

Specifically for the film reel industry, the digital world is a gladly appreciated touch. There was much hassle of trying to rewind each reel and keep them in order for the next showing. The new digital style, makes this easy with just a click of the button. As said by Jim Foyt about the upcoming technological advances, "You can welcome it with open arms or turn your back on it, but it is coming." There is no way of getting around it. There are scientist and just inquisitive people out there who want to make this world easier. They are not concerned with the memories that go a long with old equipment, they just want what is best. Is this a good thing or a bad? Can so many recollections die out and never be remembered? Do the positive effects out weigh the negative effects? This is a decision made only by the producers.
