One feature of my new entertainment system that I quite like is the ability to stream Netflix videos onto my television. Netflix offers a surprising amount of decent content that can be streamed at any time, such the original Star Trek series and both recent and older movies. The Internet being the Internet, the video can still stutter and lag at times. But when the network is free of hiccups, the video quality is almost indistinguishable from a DVD. Physical media isn’t going to be displaced for a long time, but digital delivery of video is likely to be commonplace in another five to seven years. In the meantime, I’m happy to be the future’s beta tester.
