10 Things We All Do On Netflix
6. Praise The Heavens For The Skip Intro Button
Every generation can name an invention that completely revolutionised the way they live. For many parents it was the invention of the microwave which simplified many mundane cooking tasks and changed the face of modern cuisine forever.
Beyond that, I remember hearing my grandparents saying how the refrigerator changed their lives because they would no longer have to buy fresh produce everyday. As great as these inventions are, they don't hold a candle to the Netflix skip button.
Oh sweet skip button. Hopefully, whatever genius invented that glorious button has been rewarded with wealth beyond their dreams and is retiring on some island reserved for geniuses like him and the person who came up with the name Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.
No longer do we have to put up with hearing The Rembrandts whenever Friends comes on. No longer do we have to try and sing along to the Gilmore Girls theme song all thanks to one click of a button. We shouldn't let a day go by where we don't thank the Netflix gods for this generous gift. Rest assured, we will never take it for granted.
