Kassidy Hetzel’s Module 5 Blog Posting:
For one of our recent assignments we were to watch a video and then respond to some ideas and questions based on that movie. All of the movies that were available for us to choose were based on a science fiction book written by Philip K. Dick. I chose to watch Minority Report a movie based on Dick’s Minority Report. The reason I chose to watch this movie was because I knew that this was a movie that my husband had in his DVD collection. So mainly it was because of convenience that I decided on this movie. However, I was interested in some of the other titles that were available as choices so I added them to my Blockbuster online DVD Queue and patiently waited for their arrival in the mail. Since the assignment I have watched two more of the films and I am anticipating the delivery of the others shortly.
When comparing VOD to DVD’s I do not believe they are Red Queens because the traditional DVD cannot compete with the fast paced and ever changing nature of Video on Demand. And, while I do not believe they are Red Queens I don’t think they are true versions of increasing returns either. I think the element of human choice and ease of use. I think as more people begin to be interested the more of a transfer we will see.
These are the tetrads as I see them:

Kassidy, excellent tetrads! One comment I would like to make is the need for DVD collections. Having services like Netflix, Amazon VOD and iTunes makes owning movies akin to owning records; more for aesthetics than functionalty. The technology and quality has improved to the degree that digital downloads are more secure and take up less space than DVDs. However, if I really enjoy a movie there is just something that makes me want to buy a copy. Thank you
