Being a college student I am in the midst of a revolutionary change throughout media. Smart Phones and Tablets are taking over the market, which is allowing media to spread like wildfire within days of its discovery. Because of this new methods for utilizing these devices for the film industry is a priority in order to maintain high revenues. At the “Future of Film Conference” idea’s were passed around on how to achieve this goal. One of the main sponsors was BitTorrent which was certainly surprising. Piracy of any copyright media is a widespread plaque that is only growing with the number of media outlets. Matt Mason described ideas for BitTorrent to become assets in advertisement and marketing plans. “If you can’t beat em join em”. The internet is slowing down due to the large amounts of video being uploaded on a daily basis. BitTorrent would be a vital instrument in sending large data files across the internet. Because of how the internet was designed this is a large problem that the 21st century faces in today’s world of media.
