Entertainment and leisure
Virtually every area of the entertainment has been touched with by digital technology. Digital technologies enable more personal creativity because it is very cheap to produce magazines, music videos, radio and books together however this has the effect of:
-Providing a fantastic variety and allowing new talent to publish
-Allowing a great deal of mediocre work to be published
-Creating a certain similarity in feel to great deal of what is published.
Consumers have more variety of choice in entertainment as a result of digital age.Sky+ allows consumers to record TV onto a hard disc. The simplicity and flexibility makes it easy for people to create their own personal channel onto which which they can record their favourite programs. Furthermore it allows you to skip the advertisements that fund that particular show. However this could have a major effect on the way we pay for TV.
Another way ICT has impacted on entertainment is communication. Before you were restricted to the lounge or cinema at set times but now it's available at anytime or anywhere. MP3 players and iPod's are conveniently small and allows you to listen to your music library whilst you are on the move whereas before you had a have to carry large CD player. DVD recorders allows you to record films or TV programs in high quality and watch them anywhere and anytime a DVD player is available.
Before if you wanted to watch a film or tv program you only had limited sources to watch it on
