How Netflix an co shape our culture
Have you ever wondered which impact streaming services have on our culture? In this article, I'm going to show you what changes happened and could happen.
First of all, we have to define culture. Culture is a human created social-construct in which humans are and need. Culture is defined by art, laws, technic, language, economy, religion and values, science, and our behaviour of course. Additionally, culture is changing through time. Like the evolution, it has to adapt to the fittest state. We separate this process in an internal and an external change. The internal change means a new philosophic or technical advancements. Remember the French-Revolution or the Industrial-Revolution in London? There were internal changes. An external change its called when the change occurs by other societies or geographical and environmental events.
However, now I will acquaint you with the impact of streaming services on our culture. I'm going to start with the most obvious thing and that is the death of video shops. As you consider since Netflix started as an online video shop increasingly the number of video shops has fallen. Otherwise, streaming services empowered the consumers. You can watch what when and where you want for only 8.99$ Month. That's also the reason why many people things streaming services are overthrowing TV. If that would happen a lot of workers would lose their workplaces because you need fewer workers to power streaming services. It could act in the same way by cinemas too. But I`m thinking that you can`t replace the quality and the atmosphere of a cinema. However, the quality of movies and series would increase because of the fact that werè humans accustom to everything and the opportunity to choose by streaming services. So the economic changes would be the loss of workplace and the gain of quality. Streaming services cause external changes too. Netflix headquarter is in Los Gatos, U.S.A. So it`s logic that Netflix spread their content with American culture. The States are the biggest consumers by far but their culture is affecting other foreign consumers in small ways. The second external change is the effect on the environment by the CO² production. Streaming services don't need to transport any physical thing by plane or ship. They uploading it just in the cloud and produce 78% less CO². Now werè coming to the most crucial theme, the change in our behaviour. Binge watching means watching four episodes or three sesossons of a series instead. That could be dangerous because of some people could lose their interest in their "real life" and keep focusing only on their series. Furthermore, kids could fall into this trap and would suffer under Digital-Dementia. Digital-Dementia means the loss or the incompetence of skills through time spent on digital media. Our brain Needs to learn a lot above all in our childhood. If now kids are not talking to each other or playing something outside they don`t learn or improve their social skills.
Conclusion;
Streaming services are rising and may defeat TV and cinema. They are better for our environment and put our cultures closer together through small changes by spreading American culture. But they could put thousands of people under Digital-Dementia
