Home Entertainment
By peace | April 27, 2007
Home entertainment is how we have fun and relax at home. Today it is dominated by technology, especially television. Watching videos, playing computer games, and listening to music are all home entertainment. So are reading books, playing cards and storytelling.
What did people do before TV was invented?
People had to make their own amusement by playing games, singing or reading stories. The invention of the radio and the gramophone at the beginning of the 20th century meant that people could listen to music and programs at home. Just as we sit in front of the TV to watch our favourite shows, people in the past sat around the radio or listened to the gramophone.
What is Home Cinema?
Home cinema is an attempt to bring the look, the sound and the excitement of cinema to the home. A basic kit includes a widescreen television, a DVD (digital video disc) player, and speakers positioned around the room to give surround sound. For a more cinematic effect, a wall-mounted digital projector and projection screen can be used instead of a TV.
Is Digital Broadcasting here to stay?
Digital broadcasting has many advantages over the old analogue system. Information is compressed(made smaller), producing more channels and better quality pictures and sound. Digital technology makes TV and radio more interactive for the audience.
What is Music Hi-Fi?
Music hi-fi is recorded music. Hi-fi is short for high fidelity, which means that the recording is an accurate copy of the original music. Hi-fi was first developed using vinyl records, then magnetic tape (cassettes). It is now recorded using digital media — CDs, mini discs, and MP3 files.
