Home Entertainment and Its Evolutionary Nature The way we entertain ourselves has changed, and is continuously changing. We used to listen to the radio, or watch tv. If we wanted to enjoy movies, we used to go to the theatre to watch them. As the entertainment itself changed, the ways of how we consume that content also changed. Internet content became mainstream and was delivered through special services besides cable television to us. We began by watching those, and the number of these special internet channels grew, providing an abundance of content. The way we used to go to movies in a group, we began to have Netflix parties at home. If a favorite TV show is coming out with a new season, we now arrange watch parties where we gather our friends who also enjoy the same show and watch it together.
This means we changed the devices we consumed our entertainment on as well. From personal computers, and bulky TVs, we now have both elaborate setups and portable ones. Two-in-one computers, tables, and detachable laptops that turn into the tablet form factor to become the portable variants. Huge, high definition TVs with high-end sound systems become the elaborate setup. Apart from purely watching content, there is also gaming that has evolved. Video games have progressed significantly and are played by people of all ages, so much that gaming has actually become a profession. All of the equipment that supports this, has, of course, changed.
