Netflix to open branded retail stores for some reason::Netflix has decided to open a number of brick-and-mortar locations to sell items based on hit shows, offer dining and provide live events. There’s also going to be an obstacle course based on ‘Squid Game.’
All the time and attention that digital everything saves us has been turned into ad space.
Doing something real like driving to blockbuster for instance used to be your time. Sights, sounds, someone’s hand in yours, a song on the radio. We used to own those moments, for free. Those things were your memories. Trading all that for “convenience” seems like a bum deal to me. Maybe I’m just getting old.
