forefront of technology with and jurassic park, minority report, the cool thing about this film is anything happening in the oasis is done through motion capture meaning actors themselves perform these scenes in suits with dots on their body so the animated characters are real-life performances. the other thing they were able to do is since the oasis is fully digital they gave spielberg and the actors the our glasses before they shot the scene, to know what this world looked like in their vision so they could shoot the scene and know where they were. the movie itself is extremely fun, has a lot to say about society, social media and the time we spend on phones and computers. it is extremely fun, action-packed, beautiful to watch. >> we got such a nice summation, what is your review? what is the number? >> 5 out of 5.

of power. only 5% of retail sales, 40% of online, 10% of the total. for this in the context, amazon is big, changing their lives but not totally revolutionizing the retail space. calling them a monopoly is going too far. >> are they as big as walmart? >> that is the big competition. a lot of big competitors in the state. you have huge guys playing against them. it is a competitive space. >> they don't pay sales tax at amazon, they do pay sales tax or charge a sales tax and pay it on amazon goods. >> they collect sales tax. any state that has sales tax they are collecting sales tax on

their own products. they are not doing it for third-party sellers that sell on amazon marketplace. will the government require those third-party retailers to collect sales tax? that will not hurt amazon when it comes to its own products and will probably make amazon products look cheaper because it is interesting, amazon tax, the truth is it will hit other retailers probably more than it will hit amazon. >> people out there saying we need to save our storefronts, brick and mortar businesses, is this just the result of evolution, free-market capitalism doing what it does? >> we have seen this play out time and again, questions when it comes to microsoft, walmart 25 years ago, you see the economy change and adapt, amazon has a lot of big competitors, talk about mom and pop shops,

not just brick and mortar, the mom and pop shops are online retailers. be careful about hurting them because those companies thrive as well. think about the internet sales tax, look at what it means for small online retailers and consumers, $34 billion a year if they have to add the new internet sales tax. i don't know a lot of people want to pay that much more money, they like the prices online. >> you are just not going to see storefronts as often. there will always be storefronts but will it be a diminishing thing? >> storefronts will not be people competing on price but on experience. amazon beats the guys that compete on price but stores that offer experience offer something different. amazon can't give you the pampered experience of walking in, talking to a knowledgeable
