Movies

Movies have been very big for a very long time. What's amazing to me is how much movies have advanced in the time they've been around. Movies have gone from being silent moving pictures in black and white to colorful pictures with stereo, and even the ability to be in 3D. Movies have advanced a lot technologically in the last century, and movies today are very, very different from movies back when movies were first starting out, which is interesting to me because they changed so much in such a short period of time. What interested me the most, however was how movie theaters went about adopting the new technologies. It seemed to me that if there was new technology available, then all the movie theaters would be jumping to get it and improve the way they showed movies. I was surprised to learn that that's not the case, and when new technology such as sound or color was invented, it took a while to catch on. I never knew that just because a technology existed to make something better, that didn't mean it was going to be used.
