Back in April 1997, something quietly huge happened in the world of movies: the birth of Netflix founding. Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph started it in Scotts Valley as a DVD-by-mail service. No late fees, no crowded video stores just movies delivered straight to your door. At the time, it seemed like a small convenience, but it was the first step toward something that would completely change how we watch.
By 2007, Netflix made the leap to streaming, letting people watch shows and movies instantly at home. Suddenly, binge-watching became a thing, original series took off, and the entertainment landscape was forever changed. From mailed DVDs to global streaming giant, Netflix’s journey shows how a simple idea can grow into something massive.
If you could start a small project today that could change the way people live or have fun, what would it be?
