Internet as a Means of Entertainment
Last Updated: Aug 2, 2013
If somebody would have told me five years back that I spend all of my free time in front of my computer screen I would have called him crazy. For me outdoor life has always been much more interesting than staying at home. It took me just one night to realize how important the Internetis as a means of entertainment for me.That night I spent seven whole hours on-line, just entertaining myself. I now believe that the Internet is quite an effective means of entertainment because I can download pictures, songs and videos, chat and communicate with other people and also play network games.
I was really amazed at how interesting information someone can find on the net. Anyone can easily find real funny stories, jokes, poems or entire magazines for free. One can also download pictures of friends, popular actors or favorite singers. Imagine a personal collection of rare pictures of Ricky Martin hanging on your wall “for your eyes only”! Moreover, anyone further interested can download and store songs and their lyrics, videos and games.
In addition to the entertaining material you can find on the World Wide Web, is an excellent way of making new acquaintances or even friends. People with similar interests can share information with one another through electronic mail and chat rooms. E-mail is enabling radically new forms of worldwide human collaboration. Approximately 225 millions of people can send and receive it and they all represent a network of potential cooperating individuals. Mailing list discussion and on-line conferencing allow us to gather together to work on a multitude of projects that are interesting or helpful to us. Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and ICQ (I seek you) are two of the most important programs that provide chat rooms, instant messaging and mailing lists that can connect groups of users to discuss a topic, share ideas and get to know each other.
However, the most entertaining thing you can do when you are connected is play on-line network games. People from all over the planet can play from “Doom clone” games to flight simulating games simultaneously. There are inexhaustible sources of games available for playing, with plenty of different varieties of each type of game. What, however, could be considered as the most amusing fact of playing network games is that you can play against another “intelligence” instead of the computer.
Was it worth spending seven hours in front of my PC? It definitely was because I met many interesting people and made new friends, downloaded my favorite songs and pictures and played exciting games. Perhaps spending the entire night enjoying myself was a little bit exaggerated but the experience was amazing. I would absolutely urge everyone to use the Internet as a means of entertainment as long as they use it wisely and up to a degree.

Yes, now a days internet is a entertainment, means we can do my work by internet and also spend our time through internet and also research on any topic through internet. So internet makes entertainment.
now a days the world is addicted to internet.it is used by any meaning.someone are used it as his work,another are used as entertainment.entertainment may be numbarer types, but now entertainment through intenet is turns as a trends.because they find amaizement through it
Internet is obviously a medium of entertainment but it not always use for entertainment. This is a communication medium and the motto to make internet is to connect computers placed in different places. So, there present many works by using internet not only the entertainment. Entertainment is a integral part of internet.
No,i am not agree with this kind of statement.For entertainment we have mobile,television,radio etc.internet is such thing that connect one part of the world with another part.people can communicate inspite of having distance of 1000 km.we can get any kind of knowledge through internet.Internet help us for study,for the booking a tickit of railways,hotels,airbus etc.recently the whole world is based on internet,if the system will crased.as now a days computer is present almost at every one’s home so with work they use that for entertainment purpose.so,apart from entertainment internet have lots of good function.
According to my view internet is a sort of entertainment. But it it is up to some extent. For example some people surf internet for knowing newer things, but there some people who surf unauthenticated sites which is quite illegal. And by surfing internet it lowers down our physical activities. So it should be restricted. By surfing internet we naturally gather our knowledge apart from books and also we can communicate with our friends in social network such as facebook ,orkut etc, by which we can spent our leisure time.
7’th year ago , we have internet but no various implementation. But today internet is a very useful for any resource. Internet can learn,can teach everything, Ex – from w3school.com we can learn various language easilly.So, I thing today internet is just for not entertrainment we can teach from internet.So internet is very useful esource everything.
now adayes we cant imagin without internet.mainly it is use for some work,downlod.searching etc.but the people mostly student are use it for entertainment.
so many side are there,which are socail networking side those are help to entertainment.we download so many flims,songs etc.It is very bad if some one use it only for entertainment.
It will not be right to specify or tag INTERNET as just a way for entertainment .Internet is totally ones choice how he/she would utilize internet.it can be used for entertainment when nothing is to be done,it works as your source of information when u need to extract some or it could also be a means of communication.
“Internet have many forms just the matter how one can utilize it for their use and in which form they wish to take it”
Internet can be considered as a medium for communicating with others through social networking sites.
It can be amusing to people who spend 7-8 hours on the net chatting,playing games,watching online videos and much more.But I feel that there is always a life outside the virtual world of internet and computers.So people should try to balance their social and outdoor acitvities so that internet does not become their sole source of entertainment.
Today in modern days the way of entertainment is through internet.Internet is the ocean of information where we can get any information but one thing we must remember that internet is best way of providing information only when we know properly that what we are going to find.As if we have to find any information then internet will give me many informations but we have to find the correct informatio from that sets of informatio provided by it.
Internet has become an outstanding resource of entertainment, learning, interacting with the world etc etc.
And I also agree that it has opened our veiws, thinking possibilities. Today we interact with our frnds and relatives through internet.
But apart from all these luxury and entertainment it has also taken our natural lives. it has blocked our thougts and joy into screens.
We can not think without computer in our daily life.Computers are great inventions of humankind.It is used in various field like hospitals,studies ,crime detection and in many day to day life…but some people are their who use computer for simple work like small calculation,which they can perform with their own,bt this way computer make one lasy which is not good in my point of view…even after a lot of uses ones dependence on computer is not a good thing..Computer has become an important part of our daily lifeLife has become so easy with the help of this machine With the help of computer we can connect to so many people in the world from all over the world.
We can play game,we can listent to music,we can watch movie,we can connect to people through social networking sites.And computer helps us in our study as well as.Computer has a greate contribution in our modern lifes.Besides the good sides computer has its own bad sidesFor using computer and internate we are becoming lazy,we are not using our brains completely,we are not using our memory properly.
We have become computer dependent.Besides that computer is a good thng for depending upon.So computer is more important thing in india..

…internet is a good medium of everything,where just by one click u can explore the world at your place….
yes. It is true that now a days internet has become a very important part of our daily life.No doubt It is a complete package of news, various information and entertainment . We can spend our free time in social sites, those sites also help us to keep in touch with people of whole world. beside that we can watch movies, we can play games. So we can say that the internet brings the magic world of entertainment within our room. But we should remember that this is a complete virtual world. now we are being very introvert, unsocial because of this internet . Which is not good for our society at all.
as far as my point of view …internet is not totally means of power of package of entertainment…it is beyond from that..…internet is a good medium of everything,where just by one click u can explore the world at your place….every thing in internet you find easily..
I think depending on the internet for entertainment is not a good thing. It Makes us a man with low physical activity. we are not playing outdoor games. we are not actually connecting to far people but going away from nearer ones through internet.The person whom we can meet we are connecting thorough internet. thus making far the nearer ones. And also making us obese , lethargic and disease prone.
Internet is today a means not only entertainment it means at one click on The Internet we can explore the world of Possibilities…….which is wonderful….
yes today internet becomes the most favourable choice for entertainment for this generation.we can see the number of users in facebook or other social media.today most of the people have internet but they donot have any idea about the gmail,wikipedia or other important website they just know facebook,orkut etc.and they spent lots of time on that.so we can say today internet entertain most of our generation….

Ah, the joys of watching TV! Almost nothing’s better after a long day than relaxing on the couch in front of the tube. But these days, our options for either catching the star sports or other channels, go beyond the small screen to even smaller screens. Now we’re able to get our daily dose of entertainment on laptops and other mobile devices by way of the Internet.
So what does this mean for our loyal friend the television– is it destined to go the way of the old-time radio or can it play along with the Internet just fine?
Not too surprisingly, most sports viewers said they preferred to catch the game on their TV. On the other hand, we thought that more people would prefer to watch shows and movies on the Internet, but only 10% of viewers prefered those modes. Barely anyone (1-2%) preferred to watch entertainment on their mobile devices as well, revealing that mobile devices haven’t made much of a mark on entertainment viewing just yet.
Interestingly enough, when filtered by age, a much larger chunk (36%) of 18-29 year olds use the internet as their main entertainment viewing source, as opposed to only 6% of viewers over the age of 45.
While the current state shows standard TV as the prefered mode of entertainment, we wanted to figure out if internet viewing had changed at all for people compared to a year ago. Most people said they are watching about the same amount on the internet as a year ago. However, a slightly larger amount of people are watching more entertainment on the internet (24%) than people that are watching less (22%)
