Ever since we discovered we could send data using ones and zeros, we have been on the digital development train that seems to be never-ending and this has impacted society in many ways. In this short article, we take a look at how digital tech has changed entertainment.
World Wide Web
The information highway was a game-changer and it was the start of a new dimension of digital connectivity;
Let’s take a look at entertainment options with web3.0.
- YouTube – The largest online library on the planet, the ‘tube’ has so much content, you couldn’t watch it all in one lifetime. Regular TV is losing the battle against online content, mainly due to the diverse content and the fact that it is free! You might like watching old TV shows, sporting events or even blockbuster movies.
- Pay per view sporting events – Whatever your favourite sport, you can watch major events live; MMA, boxing, football and even Aussie Rules are all available on a pay per view basis. You might be an F1 or MotoGP fan, in which case you can watch all qualifiers and the race, live as it happens. Sports fans have never had it so good!
- Social media – Social media giants like Facebook are a form of entertainment; you can livestream and enjoy real-time video calls for free! Indeed, some people are addicted to social media, not that they would admit to this! Most people spend a couple of hours in the evening catching up on what family and friends have been up to.
- Online casinos – We now have the bandwidth for HD interactive applications and the online casino offers a unique UX. The number of people who wager online is growing exponentially, with online sports betting seeing the biggest jump in numbers. Such is the competition, online casinos offer new players 100s of dollars in free bets, as they strive to attract new customers. Some play in hope of a life-changing jackpot, while others are looking to come out ahead of the game, whatever your favourite casino game, you will find it at the online casino.
- Online gaming – Shooter games like Call of Duty can be played with zero lag; many people love nothing more than a few hours of intense gaming after a day at work. Of course, you would need a powerful desktop PC and Asus Motherboards that can handle 64Ggb of RAM, along with a powerful core i9 processor and a top-rated video graphics card.
- Adult content – Pornhub is the largest adult film library on the planet; this is a billion-dollar industry and it looks like staying that way. Of course, there are those who warn that watching porn is not good for your health and who knows, they may be right!
Virtual reality is the next big thing and who knows where that will lead? We all use the web on a daily basis and for many, the Internet is their source of entertainment.
