While the three technologies cited in the article certainly resulted in dramatic changes, I don’t agree that those are the biggest industry defining moments, let alone the only comparable shifts. It could be argued that the Paramount anti trust cases of the late 40’s, the 70’s multiplex era, and the 90’s megaplex era had even more of an impact on the direction of the exhibition industry.
