Author’s voice: The author reminisces about their childhood VHS movie collection and how they wanted to recreate that experience for their children in the digital age. They created a system with NFC tags in laminated movie covers that allows their son to choose a movie by simply touching the tag to a reader, which then automatically plays the movie on Plex via Apple TV. The system teaches autonomy, responsibility, collaboration, and decision-making skills to the kids. The author prefers buying Blu-ray discs for their favorite movies rather than subscribing to streaming services, citing cost-effectiveness, extra content, and language options as the main benefits.
