Term Paper

I think a good idea for my term paper would be on a term called platform agnosticism: the notion that viewers do not care about the medium in which a message is received. For example: people watch movies on ipods instead of on the big screen or on a television set. Why is this? What effects does it have on commercialization of certain technologies? How can this help evolve technology? What other ways is this idea evident besides just with T.V's, big-screens, and ipods? Is this result of technological advancement good or bad?
