Do you own a mobile phone? Well, these days, who doesn’t? Some people even have more than one. And if you do own a phone, is it something high tech and expensive like an iPhone? How much did it cost you, and how much would it cost to replace? Think about it – that’s just one item, and that’s already probably a substantial amount of money considering how much people are willing to spend on phones nowadays. We all own more gadgets than we realise, too. What about iPods and mp3 players, digital cameras, e-readers and of course laptops and netbooks? All these items are expensive electrical equipment, and you should make sure that they are insured should they be lost, stolen, or damaged.

You may think that you don’t need cover for your possessions, because you are sure nothing will ever happen to them. Unfortunately, however, that isn’t within your control, and surely taking out an insurance policy and paying a yearly or monthly fee, even if you never have to claim, is worth covering yourself against the risk should something happen.

If you are a student, you may not have realised yet how important insurance is going to be. Having lived with your parents before, your gadgets and other possessions will have been covered under their contents insurance. However, if you now live independently you will need to take out your own policy to ensure their safety. You might consider taking out contents insurance for your student accommodation, whether halls, a flat, or a house. You could also take out gadget insurance to cover your property whilst you are out and about. Luckily, many insurance providers offer specialist services for students, such as Endsleigh Student Cover. Visit endsleigh.co.uk and click on Student Insurance to find out more.

According to the website Digital Cinema Report (www.digitalcinemareport.com) “Odeon and UCI Cinemas, Europe’s largest cinema operator, is currently installing dozens of new 3D screens as it further extends its network of DCI-compliant Digital Cinema screens in the UK, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany and Austria”. The rise of stereoscopic 3D parallels the release of planned 3D blockbuster movies in 2009. The article reports “By the end of March, over 100 sites across Europe will be equipped for 3D, with 52 screens in the UK alone, more than any other UK exhibitor”.

A total cinematic rush, 3D movies surround the viewer in an almost virtual reality. This is great for moviehouses because there is an almost guaranteed jump in per-seat revenues from the success of a good 3D romp, such as “Monsters vs. Aliens”. A new, younger audience is out there waiting to be entertained by digital technological breakthroughs. A lot of this has been possible since 2005, because of the efforts of movie studios to establish specifications for digital cinema, providing the motion picture industry with a platform from which to work.

To moviegoers, the shift to digital, especially to 3D, means a greater number of features and related entertainment. Movies will have higher quality images and take the viewer to an almost surreal level of consciousness, guaranteeing a new and different form of entertainment. Because of digitization, the expense and difficulty of displaying 3D disappears, and it is now a real option for filmmakers, one which will hit the screens in 2009 in a very big way. To theatre owners, digital has made movies easier and cheaper to run, ship, store, and discard. In the event one becomes a monster hit, movies can be replicated on-site for multiple-screen showings. Up front costs run about three times higher per screen than film projection equipment, but will soon be recovered in increased revenues. With the standardization of the specifications for digital cinema, theatre owners no longer need be worried that the technology will be compatible across studios in the long term. Now, they are eager to upgrade their theatres. To the delight of moviegoers everywhere, digital cinema is now a present reality, not a future dream.
