On a lazy, rainy Sunday afternoon there is only one thing to do to occupy the time, Netflix.
The on-demand Internet streaming media is a must have for all college students. Even with the unforgiving campus wireless Internet, Netflix is worth the $10 a month.
Of course there is also Hulu, but who wants to sit and watch commercials?
Either it’s on your desktop, laptop, iPhone or Android, Netflix keeps users connected to their favorite movies and TV shows.
What did people do before Netflix?
Oh yeah, stores like Blockbuster were still in businesses.
The power of the Internet has brought society a lot of things including social media, online shopping and of course Netflix.
Netflix has blessed users with the full series of TV favorites like Desperate Housewives, Ally McBeal, That ‘70s Show and Ugly Betty – to name a few.
Netflix also gives users the opportunity to catch up on shows that are currently on the air.
It is hard to catch a rerun of prime time TV shows so thankfully Netflix has that covered.
