History of the company
Progression of the Company
Netflix in better now than it was before because now everybody subscribed to Netflix can watch movies and TV shows through streamed media. You don't need to wait for a disc to come in the mail anymore. In 1997 Netflix only had 500,000 subscribers, now they have 40 million. In my opinion 500,000 to 40 million subscribers is a big difference. That must mean Netflix made some impact in the world.

Impact on Society
Netflix introduced discs into everyday life and revolutionized the movies renting industry. In 1998 more people started watching movies on discs. Netflix was one of the very first movies rental companies that set discs directly to your house. Eventually, Netflix became more popular than Blockbuster, a movies renting company that only rented VCR taped. Many people would not have discovered new movies and television shows that they haven't watched before. Also people would not have discovered new technology if it weren't for Netflix.
