How to Watch Free Movies Online Now

When Intel engineers invented the microprocessor in 1971 and designers at the Advanced Research Projects Agency developed the ARPAnet — the precursor to the Internet — they knew big things were ahead. Their inventions would allow unprecedented computing power to be linked to solve some of the most pressing technological problems in history. Those same inventions are also responsible for something else important: making it easy for you to watch free movies whenever you want to, from the comfort of your own home. It's as simple as visiting the right website, finding an interesting movie, and clicking.
