Technology has touched many fundamental aspects of our daily lives including entertainment. Technology has completely transformed our entertainment and the way we receive it. Our entertainment almost entirely depends on today’s unparalleled technology. Television, 3D movies, I-pods, handheld devices with Internet service are all technological advances that allow us to be entertained and entertain ourselves at all times. Even the idea of entertainment nowadays has changed. Entertainment can be looking through somebody’s pictures on Facebook or just texting someone. Even store shopping that used to be fun is becoming less popular as people are increasingly shopping on the web.
Our grandparents for example grew up with no technological means of entertainment. They would play card games, participate in outdoor activities, sing and dance without an I-pod or a sound system. Today we watch a basketball game on TV for fun. We drive to the movie theater on our free time and we browse the web to look for ways of entertainment. It has become a common thing to open our laptops or text someone just because we feel bored. Mass media technology has dramatically changed the way audiences are entertained and it will continue changing because technology breakthroughs are taking place everyday.
