Entertainment

Through the ages entertainment is found throughout everywhere we go. Since the internet people have found more ways to be entertained via YouTube and online gaming. Entertainment on the internet is aimed at anyone old enough to read and understand. There are websites aimed at any age such as CBBC (a games site for kids) or Miniclip (games site for teenagers). The reason for such wide target market is because there isn’t just one website. There are loads of different websites that offer entertainment towards the audience with each website offering a form of entertainment for a certain age and type of person. Not only does online entertainment involve websites but also gaming. People are playing games online with Xbox’s and PlayStations and are now downloading apps onto their phones.    


  

The fact that it is all on the internet (which is a highly accessible thing now a days) means it is a great form of entertainment. Sites such as YouTube (a site that enables people to post videos online) are now running businesses online that offer entertainment. The most popular videos have over 100million views!!

 Some of the positives of internet entertainment are that people are now able to be entertained almost anywhere in the country; people are now able to listen to music online on a phone and without trouble. With so much technology available now it would be very hard not to find some sort of entertainment that you enjoy, whether it be on your smartphone, games console or on the internet.

Although there are so many positives for entertainment on the internet there are also many drawbacks for it as well. People could get attached to games online or on the games console; this could lead to money being spent on them and being wasted.  Not only are there games online but the internet now offers online casinos and betting shops. With the use of gambling online people could start gambling addictions because all they have to do to access casinos/betting shops is go onto the internet. With the internet being so widely accessible to everyone people at work now have the ability to ignore their jobs and play games instead or watch YouTube videos. Having this accessible while doing work creates a massive distraction. When I attempt to do work on the computer I get distracted very easily and end up not doing work and play games instead.

Internet allows everyone to be entertained and with its wide accessibility it could possibly be one of the best forms of entertainment as its easily accessible and also has such a wide choice.
