Movie Nights!

“Netflix Parties” were always popular for streaming new movies and shows with friends, but in the year of 2020 renaming and rebranding this to be “Teleparty” allowed people to keep their social distance while still having the ability to be connected to their friends. This now allowed people to stream Netflix shows and movies with people they weren’t with to have a virtual movie night while feeling as though they were with the people watching the same screen as them!

Streaming Advancements
When Disney+ was introduced in November 2019, it was fighting for streamers along with Hulu and Netflix. In the Spring of 2020 HBO Max joined the race for streaming by announcing that they now were the exclusive home for some fan favorite shows, such as “Friends.” The forthcoming platform. Peacock, was also announced in 2020 to take over the rights to a fan-favorite show, “The Office.”

Disposable Cameras
Another trend that was brought back was taking pictures on disposable cameras. Disposable cameras lost a lot of buyers when phones with cameras were made, but over the past few years, starting in 2018, the sales of these cameras increased by more than 150 percent. The summer of 2020 was a big selling time for the disposable cameras allowing people to capture moments and have them developed later on, maybe even forgetting some pictures they took and having nice memories coming back!
