10. FYE : For Your Entertainment
Whitehead defines entertainment as "what people do with their freedom" we can say
that people are entertained when they are voluntarily undergoing an experience that
interests them and gives them some amount of pleasure or release.
Entertainment activities :talking, gossiping; reading newspapers and books; listening
to music and radio; watching movies and television; practicing sports; attending live
performances of sports and arts; playing games; gambling;
shopping, cooking, gardening, fishing, and other hobbies; eating, drinking, flirting, and
smoking; tourist traveling, visiting museums, and going to amusement parks.
Talking and gossiping have become chat rooms, forum, discussions, social media
(twitter, Facebook); reading news on the web is becoming increasingly popular with e-
News editions, portals, niche news portals, columns; the previously solitary video-
game experience has found new meaning in the networked game era; shopping has
gigantic proportions on the web, with e-commerce and augmented by the thrills of on-
line auction and web store experience.
11. Entertainment : : Video: : Youtube
“YouTube : The future of entertainment is on the Web”
In the next decade, 75 percent of all channels will be born on the Internet. -Robert
Kyncl, Head of global partnerships for YouTube.
YouTube announced in December that it logged 1 trillion hits in 2011 and is
anticipating an even bigger year ahead as more politicians and newsmakers turn to
the site to distribute Web ads, speeches and weekly video casts.
All of the entertainment industry should be paying attention to Web video, predicting
that soon 90 percent of Web traffic will be video.
Less clicking, more watching.
