This piece from NPR's "On the Media" focuses on issues surrounding new 3-D technology that has recently been taking over the film industry. Since the number of ticket sales at movie theaters has decreased significantly in recent years, studios have been trying to take advantage of this 3-D technology to attempt to lure audiences back into the theaters. However, 3-D movies are also more expensive than their 2-D companions, and many people feel that the 3-D gimmick doesn't add much to the experience. I really enjoyed this piece because I am quite interested in the movie industry and its effects on society. As discussed in the piece, nearly everyone loves movies, but the issue is finding new ways to get people back into theaters when tickets are so expensive and the economy is struggling. I liked the light tone between the interviewer and the interviewee, who both expressed a lot of excitement regarding this new technology and what it can bring to the film industry. Overall, the piece provides a lot of great information to people who may not be completely familiar with 3-D technology and the dilemma that has been causing in recent years.
