HMV? BLOCKBUSTER?

o As a nation, what have we done to our

businesses?

o Possibly due to the recession, we are no

longer wanting to go out to the cinema or buy

hard copies of our favourite films.

Instead we are legally (or then again illegally)

downloading films off the internet or watching

them online. Although this seems like a good

idea for us, has anyone though about what it is

doing to our economy?

o HMV and BLOCKBUSTER have no gone

under, due to the lack of customer

purchases,, but then again can you blame us

when everything online is cheaper?

Showcase Cinema

o Not only has online purchases, and illegal

downloads effected big name companies, it

has also effected a cinema placed in

Birmingham called the Showcase Cinema.

o Due to the lack of customers this cinema has

had to shut down as it simply couldn’t afford

the land it was sitting on.

o Although we all believe technologies

advancements are for the better, to some

people I wouldn’t be so sure.
