The average price of gasoline was $3.24. Marvel's Iron Man 3 was the No. 1 movie at the box office. One of the first made-for-streaming original series, House of Cards, debuted on Netflix. CBS' NCIS was TV's top scripted show. "Thrift Shop" from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (featuring Wanz) was the No. 1 single. 

Eighty-six percent of Americans had pay TV at home, and only 21% of U.S. consumers used a smart TV to stream video. 

The year was 2013. And a lot of stuff has changed since then ... especially in the video business. Hub Entertainment Research, which was founded a decade ago, sums up the "then and now" quite nicely in this chart:
