Dear Editor,
Netflix recently made it possible for people to stream movies and television shows to their personal computers. According to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, this is not the end of it. In about a year they are hoping to provide this service through cellphones. This would allow people to watch movies on their cellphones while at work or even while driving. The service will allow people to pick through a library of over 1,000 movies anywhere they go through their cellphones. Furthermore, Netflix plans to add more movies as they become licensed to participate.
I believe that this technological revolution is getting out of hand, especially with the idea of putting movies on cellphones. It is absurd to think that a person cannot go anywhere without being entertained by motion pictures. Obviously, this could pose many dangers. It is dangerous enough to be talking on the cellphone while driving and it doesn’t even require a person to advert their eyes from the road.
This idea might have a few benefits, but overall I think that Netflix’s new service has cons that greatly outweigh the pros.

Movies watched on cellphones dangerous, not necessary
