| Re: Movie Theaters vs. Home Theaters
Like many industries that face changes in technology, commercial theaters will either adapt by coming out with new ways to view that are not avaible in the home (one is testing the release of odors as you watch) or they will decline in numbers and dissapear as many other industries have. The problem they face is not necessarily 'home theaters' which are still too complicated for a majority of the population but by the availability of the DVD which most people simply watch on a player bought at WalMart and the CRT screen they have in the house. For now there are still a enough people going to theaters to make it profitable but what happens in the future will be interesting to watch. You'll have to excuse me for now, I have to go put the horse and buggy in the barn.
