I like to compare it to Blockbuster vs Netflix.

Back in yesteryear, you'd want to watch a movie, but upon visiting the video store, you'd find out that they're all out of your movie. Or perhaps you'd rent another movie and find that the DVD is scratched and unusable upon getting home. Night ruined.

Then you find out about a new service called Netflix that utilizes new technology to reliably offer you enjoyable movie experiences at a lower cost and you could do it all from your smartphone.

Everyone is happy about Netflix except for the people who own and work at Blockbuster.
