Abstract

This paper investigates how long it would take an individual to watch all newly added movies and documentaries to the UK Netflix in 2017, whilst maintaining normal daily activities which include eating, sleeping and drinking. For the purposes of this investigation it was assumed the individual had no other commitments apart from watching Netflix. It was calculated that an individual would require 236.5 days to watch all newly added movies and documentaries in 2017.
