Red Queens and Increasing Returns
I decided to view the 1990 original version of the Total
Recall movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. I was able to find the movie
without using Netflix. I actually found the movie on Video Bash (www.videobash.com) I pulled it up on my
computer and was able to view it for free.
The current competition between DVD’s and video-on-demand is
an example or Red Queen. According to Thornburg(2009), Red Queen is when two
competing technologies share the same market. DVD’s still have an audience but
the video-on-demand market has come a long way in a relatively short amount of
time.
DVD’s rekindle the VHS but they will soon become obsolete in
the near future like the need for CD’s are becoming at a fast pace. With the
advancements of tablets and laptops, DVD’s will definitely have a hard time
remaining relevant in the next wave of modern technology.
