How Tech And Rebirth Of Serialized Fiction Re-Introduced Me To The Pleasures Of Waiting

So I finally finished watching the first season of House of Cards this weekend. Which is crazy, right? It's been a full month and a half since all 13 episodes went live on Netflix.?How could I wait so damn long to watch every episode, especially since traveling to South by Southwest meant that I had to wait?two whole weeks?before I could find out what happened to [REDACTED] after [REDACTED]? After all, there's been so much writing about how the show represents the future of distribution, especially with the audience's binge-watching habits. And it's?part of a broader conversation around how media consumption is changing, with no one willing to wait for anything anymore. At least, that seems to be what I keep hearing and reading:?Everything will be released everywhere now, now, now, because waiting is so 20th century, man.
