Page 18/19 - Activity 21

Here is my list of online entertainment i have been using:
  • Game Sites:- It can be tedious waiting for downloads, so meanwhile I often like to play games offered online, many of which started life in Flash. The benefit is that a lot of these sites run for free, so no costs for a casual gamer.
  • Video Sites:- More specifically YouTube, this very popular site is still going strong, with little to none competition. I like YouTube because again it is free, but in addition to this there is a very expansive library to choose from, with new videos almost daily, it is very rare not to find what you are looking for.
  • Online Gaming:- Next generation consoles; Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii all offer online gaming. All one has to do is plug in an ethernet cable and your away. Online gaming gives people the oppurtunity to play an array of games with people all over the globe, whether it be football in Fifa, or warfare in Call of Duty.
  • Instant Messaging:- Many teenagers enjoy staying in touch with there friends, so, many companies have exploited this need for socialism and created sites like Msn. Msn is a hugely diverse piece of software which again allows any two people in the world to talk to each other as if they were in the same room. In addition to this, hardware such as webcams can be added to give a broader sense of realism. Again this is free so it is very widely used, and has more users than mobile phone and landline users combined.
