Entertainment

Entertainment has evolved dramatically since the new technology has been developed. The Apple IPad being top of the range, ranging to, computers, PS3's, Wii's and sat navs. However, the online services has created various ways to listen and consume music, play online games, watch videos and many more.

Listening/ Consuming Music
There are lots of different sites where you can listen to music. Lots of people use Youtube to listen to music but mostly Itunes. You tube is free for all users but they are not always reliable or accessible. Itunes is mainly money orientated based, unless you consume the music elsewhere, for example via a disc.
A fairly new website for listening and consuming music is Spotify. Spotify only allows a certain amount of people to be registered but it offers the chance for you to listen to new songs all the way through on your laptop. To consume it, you will have to pay for it, just like Itunes.




Games
You can get different forms of games available online as well as PC games bought on disc. 
The online games target different ages and audiences. 'Miniclip' offers more fun and strategic games for teens but you've also got children education games such as CBeebies website. The PC games would be more complex such as Fifa, Call of Duty and Warcraft.




Videos
Videos online have become ever so popular with the high quality resolutions on hand now. The videos range from music to sport. Music videos have always been popular due to Youtube. Sport has become more advertised online more recently, as more and more teams of all sports have their own homepage. Sites that include sports videos will be BBC sport and skysports. These sites focus on all different sports and the videos will focus on  highlights of previous games or interviews.              Above: You can see all the video options top right.
