McLuhan Photoshop Final Product

Above I have created an image about what I feel netflix is bringing to our society. The message I was trying to portray here was that netflix is "caging" people to their homes and encouraging them to not leave their house. I have displayed a family watching television together but have enclosed them inside a birdcage and put them inside of a room made of the netflix labels. The content of netflix includes images, audio, video, entertainment, movement and emotional impact as well as many more, but the overall message it is encouraging the buyer is that you never have to leave your house for entertainment again seeing as netflix will provide you with all of the entertainment you need for a low and affordable price. Making it even more convenient, they now allow you to upload movies instantly to your tv through your computer connection. While this is convenient it also is encouraging a society that is already lazy enough to become even more lazy and to support big corporations instead of maybe the local movie theater that could be a small family owned business. Even if the movie theater itself is a big corporation or chain movie theater, netflix is still encouraging laziness and taking "hard work" out of renting (which to me is part of the fun of renting). Hopefully the image I created displays this opinion in someway or another.
