Despite the controversy in the creative community regarding video speed adjustment features, Netflix has decided to move ahead and give its users this option — at least those who watch on an Android phone or tablet. With this option, users will be able to speed up or slow down the rate at which content plays, making it possible to get through your favorite shows and movies more quickly. The idea of being able to speed up videos and audio in order to get through it faster — and, in some cases, to slow it down so you can better digest the material — isn’t new. A number of older DVD players, for example, included support for adjusting video playback speed and similar functionality has become common in the podcast and audiobook industries.
