This lead to social media exploding in popularity, and next is how social media has evolved.
In the early 2000’s, MySpace became increasingly popular and in 2005 YouTube was created.

Cinemas now have features like THX or Dolby surround sound, enhancing the cinematic experience, and the IMAX 3D projection system, which has two camera lenses to project two different images simultaneously, simulating a 3d effect, which results in an extremely immersive and engaging experience for the viewer.
