1. I want to improve netflix by adding a "binging" mode. Everyone has those days where they are going to stay in and watch netflix ALL day. Those days where someone can watch a whole season of a series one one single day. How annoying is it when you are under the blankets, as cozy as can be, and you have to get up, or move around, and not be cozy to press a button they assures the app that you are, indeed, still watching. I understand why they have that feature. Someone could have been watching a title, then get distracted. Another could have had all intentions of watching, but an emergency happened and they left netflix on. I want the app to have a binging mode, so that I can assure the app that I will be there watching.

3.“Netflix is a global provider of streaming movies and TV series, has over 75 million subscribers as of 2016. Netflix started as an American DVD-by-mail service in 1998, and began streaming in 2007” (Wikipedia). At some point, people started choosing streaming media over paying for cable. It has become so popular to stream media that many peoples can devote their days to it. There has become a term for it. The term is called “Binge Watching.” People stay in all day and watch episode after episode, until they have to get back into reality. Some people watch in pairs, others can watch alone. There are so many option on how to “Binge.” After watching about two episode of almost anything on Netflix, it is not absurd to assume that you have made yourself comfortable. The level of comfort that makes you not want to move because you can disrupt that level of comfort and nor be able to achieve it. What do you do when Netflix stops the comfort because you have to find your remote to continue watching. There is no other option but to move. I want to create a mode on the application/ Website that allows you to be acknowledged as a “binge” watcher. Once acknowledged, there will be no pause in your shows. The shows will continue to play until you choose not to watch or until you have finished that title.
