FWIW, The expert claimed it would be 60% by year end.
In any case I sticketh to my assertions about the meatspace-rackspace interface. While the megamuching of hi-def cinema might get heavy and is heavy now, it’s a fad that will pass. And pass quickly. Six months of a lifestyle of movie, movie movie will kill a bunch of people, and stink of their decaying meat will fend of thoughts of others as to emulating that ultra-passive behavior.
Most folks will get bored or sick of movies.
60% total, sort of. But again that’s internet traffic. Who knows what people not hooked to the net are doing. I watch tons of movies, I’m very healthy. It only takes half an hour to an hour of exercise and some smarts in what you eat to be healthy, that leaves lots of time for movies. I knocked down 5 movies last weekend in and around an hour with the trainer, a 2 hour bike ride, a couple of hours planning a convention and a couple of NHL playoff games.
People aren’t getting bored or sick of movies. Even with the troubles the industry is having they still hauled 10 BILLION in domestic grosses last year, and that’s just theater money, that doesn’t count buying DVDs, renting DVDs, Netflix, or illegal downloads. I’d love to be in an industry that people are sick of but can still get $31 from every man woman and child in the country through it’s least profitable distribution method.
Your problem is that you have a bad assumption. You think that if a person watches movies that must mean they do absolutely nothing else with their lives and get fat. And you’re wrong. Never forget what it means to ass-u-me.
