I think two-hour movies are soon to be a thing of the past. But, will people pay premium prices to watch a one-hour TV episode on the big screen? One hour is all anyone can handle anymore, and then only if they can also look at their phones, they get the shakes if they can’t look at their phones.
When we switch to XR/AR goggles worn every waking moment, that will be the end of movie theaters, and so many other things. Only a few will survive, like drive-ins today.
I don’t think it’s just the old man in me saying we’re heading in a bad direction.
The only ones as a group avoiding this are the “elite”. The filthy rich don’t let their kids use this tech. Their kids go to schools like they were before smartphones. Pencil, paper, and good grades required to pass. I mean the billionaires, there’s a huge difference between $100 million, which is rich to we poors, and $1 billion+. We down here tend to group them all together, but they are not the same. One-hundred million is the new middle class.

One hour, bah. I don’t understand why people complain about 1 minute youtube shorts. That seems about the right length.
