NETFLIX's product expertise is at the heart of everything it does, including why and how it makes its original content. This culture is easily overlooked, but doing so can be fatal.

Though this has liberated artists, consumers are now drowning in a virtually infinite supply of things to watch, listen to and read. "Age of Abundance: How the Content Explosion will Invert the Media Industry"... Happy Birthday to BRIAN BRATER, JESSICA COEN, AMBER COFFMAN, JOHN R. CARLUCCI, MELISSA MURPHY PARENTO, LISA CHAJET, and BILL SOBEL. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
