Netflix is a must on Lehigh’s campus. You decide:
The 48-hour sketchy business down the street OR you can sit in the comfort of your own dorm, apartment, and off-campus house to stream the shows, movies, and documentaries from your computer or your Wii or your PS 3 or your XBOX 360.
Instead of throwing a bunch of elaborate sentences saying the pros and cons of Netflix, I listed them so you don’t have to read a 4-page paper.
| Pros | Cons |
| -Basically no effort | -You have to wait for mail-ins |
| - Easy to obtain | -It costs more than a dollar |
| -Monthly bill that can be cancelled all the time. | -It’s a huge homework distraction |
| - Cheap, first month is a free trial | |
| -Has new releases | |
| -Includes more than just movies; it has millions of seasons from TV shows | |
| -You have unlimited movies, shows, etc. for every month you pay for | |
| -Easily used | |
| -Credible | |
| -College students are lazy, Netflix is a solution (to still be lazy but accomplish more) | |
| -There are helpful documentaries you can use as sources for | |

This will give you an overview of the good and the bad. But the bad says there’s no spontaneity but most college students have their computers hooked to their TVs or at least they should. (They are really cheap on Amazon.com for $8 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001YK3Q1A?linkCode=xm2&tag=invihand-20)
One member speaks against Netflix, about the mailing delays, and a few other problems.
Even though I do agree with the delays, Netflix loads faster than this member implies (“I get greeted with a message saying it will take 5 hours for your movie to start.”) I have watch thousands of hours on my computer and it takes about 3-4 seconds to load. Since I started using Netflix (last month), I have watched 5 seasons of Weeds and American Dad, 3 seasons of 30 Rock, tons of SNL, lots of Futurama, and many more shows and even more movies.
Netflix also opened my eyes to something called a documentary. Which, as an educated college student, I had thought to be those boring things teachers would put on and I would get to take a nap. As it has it, I was wrong. There are documentaries on everything. I have watched my good share of documentaries on foods you shouldn’t eat and have discovered a new world under the ocean. I also found a documentary that’s useful for my Environmental History class (if the teacher is Chamberlain take it!!).
