Music
Music is used for entertainment all around the world. It is one of the most widely entertaining things that people enjoy. There are many types of music to thrill a person’s appetite ranging from calm and subtle to heavy rock and loud. Music can be downloaded from anywhere and can also be bought. People nowadays tend to buy and download their music rather than going out to buy them. This is good due to the fact that you won’t have tonnes of CD’s littered in your room that you are not listening to anymore. Another advantage of downloading music is the fact that you can download more for very little and also you can delete the tracks you don’t like. You can also put music onto iPods, phones and memory sticks meaning you won’t have to carry around an annoying CD with you all the time instead you can just carry something a bit more smaller and enjoyable. Transferring your favourite music onto and iPod or phone is less time consuming depending on your computer speed and internet. However an issue with downloading music is that businesses have to shut down because people don’t buy their music in CD’s and this means that people are left unemployed and are becoming deskilled in something they always do. Sometimes people don’t need to buy/download music because there are websites out there which allow people to enjoy listening to their music for free. Some of these websites only require downloading their software. You can also listen to music on the radio and if you don’t have one with you it is always available online for no extra costs. I listen to music quite a lot since I first got my iPod. I love how you can carry it around and if suddenly someone decides to have a party somewhere you can just plug your iPod into the speaker and listen to it while enjoying yourself. I download most of my music because it is really easy and time efficient. Overall without music it would be difficult for people to entertain themselves more easily. Videos
Videos are another most widely used entertainment resource. More and more people are nowadays watching movies online rather than buying them on Games
Games has revolutionised since its first venture years ago. Games are a great entertainment resource as, again it is easily accessible and there is a wide range to choose from. People tend to download their games as it means they play it unlimitedly without breaking the CD etc. People don’t just download games, they also play it online. There are many games websites which allow people to play specific games against their mates online and also there are single player games if you feel like playing without any real pressure of your opponents beating you. A lot of high street shops are affected by this because they are loosing customers as well as they are not generating sufficient profits to plan to the future or to stay open. This means many are shutting down leaving people unemployed and many more deskilled. I play online games more than games that are available on CD’s because they are easy to get and they don’t create a mess in my room.
Tablets/ e-Readers
Tablets are portable devices which perform just like a computer or laptop without
the extra weight. You can do whatever you want to do with them just on a smaller scale. e-Readers are small portable libraries allowing people to choose what they want to read just like in a real library. The relative lightness and portability of these allows people to carry them around while enjoying the pleasure of reading. This is however affecting many publishing stores and businesses as they have to be shut down because of the lack of profit they are generating. Even though they are light and easy to use they are causing many health issues such as migraines and headaches, caused by the constant viewing of the tablet/e-Reader screens. I personally don’t have an e-Reader/ Tablet, but my friends seem to enjoy them and say what a genius invention they were.Youtube
Youtube is an online website which allows users to watch and listen to music for free. It is one of the most widely used websites in the world with a lot of free videos to enjoy and savour while being at home or work. The revolution of mobile phones/tablets has allowed Youtube to be one of the most dominant online entertainment websites available. Youtube nowadays is accessible anywhere with a device that connects to the internet; this allows people to enjoy videos on the move without any hassle of needing a computer/laptop. I frequently use Youtube as it is easily accessible and easy to use.
