Netflix has recently allowed users to download movies and TV shows! Now, we can all binge watch The Officeon the go, without worrying about using up our data plans if there is no Wi-Fi. Here are 10 ways so far that I've seen Netflix’s update affect my life.
1. My data plan isn’t suffering
I can now watch shows without Wi-Fi whenever I want. I don’t have to use up my data plan whenever I want to watch something when there is no Wi-Fi available, I can just watch an episode of a TV show I downloaded.
2. I have something to watch as I workout
The gym never has Wi-Fi signal and I end up using all of my data on Spotify as I run and listen to music. Now, I can watch a show as I run. This keeps me so much more motivated than I was before because episodes and movies are so interesting and time flies by.
3. I cleaned up my phone
I ended up having to delete apps that I never used in order to clear up room for downloading the episodes that I really care about.
4. It really made me think about what shows I valued over others
I pick and choose very carefully which TV shows and movies are worthy of taking up the storage on my phone for download.
5. It got me interested in new shows
Not all the shows I usually watch are available for download. I ended up getting involved in some new shows that were available for download that I probably never would have taken the time to watch.
6. It made me time manage better
Now, I don’t need to only watch Netflix in the hours that I am in my room, with good Wi-Fi; instead, I can watch shows and catch up when I’m taking little breaks or waiting in line. I use my time so much more wisely because I can watch Netflix in the time that would usually go to waste.
7. It made me appreciate Netflix even more than I already do
They’re always creating new shows and adapting to their customers’ needs. Netflix is such a cool company.
