Erik Hanberg came to our World wide web class on October 11th. Professor Fry had brought him in to share his life story and how Hanberg had made a living off the ever so changing technology world. Not just on how to make money but Hanberg was a very helpful resource to new nonprofits, he wrote three separate books- The Little Book of Gold, The Little Book of Likes, and The Little Book of Boards- which were like a resource guide that provided helpful information to help the nonprofits. Having a background in their entertainment industry Hanberg was a very successful director for The Grand Cinema. His expertise and knowledge lead to The Grand Cinema generating huge amount of revenue for the Cinema. With all that knowledge Hanberg decided to pursue his wish and open his very own cinema, went on and opened a theater. Sadly, enough eventually hanberg had to close his theatre. Both Hanberg and his wife Created a business together, it’s basically a marketing company for small businesses and nonprofits. Mary, Hanberg’s wife is a very good artist and Hanberg being Hanberg uses his skills to reach out to new customers and get new businesses the voice. Eric Hanberg and Professor Fry are both very intelligent people and have used the ever so advancing technology to have fun and develop new companies.

That’s all changed with the converging of technology nowadays they hype is not about planning for a movie we its all about when the movie will be released to the web or be available for purchase online. Theatres are going thru a crisis and have choice to make weather to stay open or go out business because all the movies being able to be streamed online days after it is released. Many theatres that had been around for years have been shutting their doors or being bought out by the major cinemas like AMC or Regal.
