Apple releases iTunes 7, goes Hollywood (Download Squad)

Sep 17th 2006 11:26PM This new deal between Apple and Disney is merely just another way for studios to market their films and in return, make more money. Young people these days have become so lazy that they would rather download a movie on their iPod then simply go buy it. Although this is a potentially profitable investment, what does this mean for our idea of entertainment these days? With iPods that have games, music, TV and now movies, what is this doing for social events. Now people can just sit by themselves and become entertained, never having to interact with others. Already, the box office records have been on a steady decline over the past few years and with movies now available through iTunes this may hinder the profit a movies makes in the theater even more. Films were made to be on the big screen, not a miniscule screen that hurts your eyes after looking at it for five minutes. Even if this new program allows you to burn the film on a DVD, it still takes away the luxury of the movie watching experience.
