Entertainment


The online world has taken off because of entertainment. it is generally accepted that a lot of people seem to waste time on entertainment, people just waste their time on things like Facebook, Instagram and watching videos on YouTube. Films, videos and music are forms of entertainment as they form a part of entertainment. Entertainment is slightly more than that as you can play games online and communicate with other people so you can play in games in group such as Mine craft. 

I will be talking about few of the entertainments sites that have a very high impact on people and that are used by people in their everyday life.

Download: With entertainment downloading things such as software, upgrades, films and movies also become possible . After downloading music we got MP3 where it made it easy for people to listen to music anywhere, and after some time we got IPod where we could watch anything from music to movies and games. now people can just download these things and it is a lot more convenient.

There is also a huge problem with illegal online download, which means that Some people are downloading things for through illegal website, when they really should be paying for the content. this has a very high affect on the music industry as more people download illegal music more than anything.

With Kindle we can now shop for eBooks, download and read eBooks, newspapers, blogs and other digital media, but to use all of them we need a Wi-Fi or wireless networking. The first kindle that was released from amazon was on November 19, 2007.
