EnterTechment: The Technological Age Of
Entertainment

I. Comparison of traditional and current developments in Entertainment

As humans, we have always sought out ways to entertain ourselves, whether it be

through storytelling, music, dance, or games. Entertainment not only helps to alleviate
boredom and bring joy, but it also serves as a means to connect people of different
cultures and backgrounds.Over the years, emerging technologies have had a profound
impact on the way we consume and experience entertainment. In light of the existence
of the internet, and the invention of smartphones, tablets, and other devices,
entertainment has become more accessible and convenient than ever before. In this
section, we compared how traditional entertainment differs from the entertainment that
we enjoy today.

Gaming
Games have existed since ancient times. It is widely popular among people of different
ages, cultures, and backgrounds. The way we enjoy and play games has evolved
overtime due to a crucial factor, the advancement of technology.

Traditional gaming involves physical interactions with other people. In the Philippine
context, young people are out in the streets playing games such as pogs, tumbang
preso, luksong baka, and many other games that require socialization and physical
interaction. Meanwhile, older people enjoy table games such as Tongits, Mahjong, and
billiards, which sometimes involve gambling. These games provided an excellent
opportunity for people to bond and spend time together.

Today, The current gaming entertainment is widely digitized and virtualized. Gaming has
been accessible on multiple platforms such as on our computers, game consoles, and
even in our phones and tablets. There is a vast selection of games of different genres
that people could play. For example, Traditional games like card games are already
digitized, and are widely popular among all ages. The multiplayer mode enables people
to connect and play with their friends even if they are in different parts of the world.

Traditional and modern gaming paved the way to enhance social interactions,
strategizing, and even critical thinking. The impact of technology on gaming has
transformed it from a physical activity to a digital one, with many advantages and some
potential drawbacks. As gaming continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how
technology will shape the future of this popular form of entertainment.

Streaming videos, movies and music.

Undoubtedly, watching movies and listening to our favorite genre of music brings us joy
and calmness. Ever since, Music compositions such as those of Bach and Mozart;

Literary Plays of Shakespeare and Wilde, promoted different genres and cultures that
entertained audiences around the world.

In the traditional age of technology, people stream for video and music entertainment
primarily through VHS tapes, MP3s, and even vinyl records. Back in the day, people
were visiting cinemas, theaters, video rental stores, and music shops just to see, hear
and get a copy of the album or movie that they wanted to watch or listen to. Traditional
entertainment provided a window for people of the same interests to interact physically
in the abovementioned physical locations. Although it did not offer convenience, it
promoted socialization.

Back in the day, people were sitting on their couch all day just to wait for the next
episode of their favorite series, but thanks to technology the current entertainment
streaming are largely digitized, with many online platforms offering vast services to
provide you the entertainment that you need from streaming movies and series, to
streaming music and podcasts. It offers convenience in a sense of in just one click you
can now enjoy your favorite series on your phone or laptop no matter where you are.

While traditional entertainment streaming provided a unique social experience, current

streaming services offer convenience, personalization, and a broader range of
entertainment options. As streaming services enhance throughout time, would Netflix,
Viu, and Spotify provide a better and more immersive experience for their users?

Social Media

The emergence of social media has revolutionized the way we interact with
entertainment content and each other. From the first printing press, up to the first phone
call, Media has shaped people’s perspectives and opinions on free speech, politics, and
spreading news.

Traditionally, people wake up and read their daily newspaper from Manila Bulletin while
drinking their coffee. The Philippines’ national hero, Jose Rizal, expressed his
resistance against the Corrupt Spanish Colonials and friars through writing his popular
novels: Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. People wrote diaries to express what
they feel, and to keep a record of what they felt on a particular day.

Now, with the emergence of technology, people are always up to date on the latest
news. In one click in social media platforms, you can view media reports of events that
have happened in the past few hours. Social media made free speech possible, on the
internet, you can express your emotions and opinions without any hindrance.

In conclusion, while traditional socializing through entertainment provides a sense of

community and connection, social media offers a more global and dynamic way of
engaging with entertainment content and each other.

III. Sharing of personal experiences

Xy Griffin San Jose’s Personal Experience with ICT in Gaming

Due to the restrictions on face-to-face interactions during the pandemic, many people
turned to technology to stay in touch with friends and family. In my own experience,
playing mobile games like Mobile Legends, Valorant, and COD Mobile with my cousins
helped us stay close and enjoy some quality time together. We were able to maintain
our connection despite our physical distance by playing these online games. The ability
to interact and socialize was made possible by it, which was crucial during the difficult
and isolating periods of the pandemic.

However, it is really hard to reduce my screen time, because I started to become

addicted to playing video games from the moment I wake up until midnight. It made me
experience frequent headache, and drowsiness.

Althea Kristine Ortega’s Personal Experience with ICT in Streaming

Streaming music has become an integral part of my daily routine, particularly during
moments when I need to relax or concentrate. I frequently use Spotify to stream my
favorite playlist while taking a shower, studying, or even before sleeping. This has
become a habit that I find very helpful in calming myself down and staying focused on
my tasks.

One thing that I appreciate about streaming music is how convenient and portable it is.
Unlike the days when we had to carry around MP3 players, we can now access millions
of songs through our smartphones. With just a few taps on my phone, I can easily
browse and select the songs that I want to listen to, and even create personalized
playlists. This ease of use and accessibility has made streaming music a preferred
choice for many people, including myself.

In addition to the convenience, I also enjoy the wide variety of music available on
streaming platforms like Spotify. However, services are expensive and it is in the cost of
my monthly allowance . It came to a point where I had to pirate songs when I was
young.

Betina Mae Gonzales’ Personal Experience with ICT in Social Media

As a student, I have always been interested in staying informed about current events
and news. In the past, I would rely on traditional media such as newspapers and
television to get my daily dose of news. However, with the advent of social media and
digital news platforms, my habits have changed significantly.

I now use social media as a way to stay up to date with breaking news and to read
articles and opinions from a variety of sources. For example, I follow several news
outlets on Twitter and Facebook, which provide me with timely updates on events
happening around the world.

While there are many benefits to using ICT for news consumption, there are also some
drawbacks. One challenge I have encountered is the proliferation of fake news and
misinformation on social media.

IV. Conclusion

From the earliest civilizations, technology has played a crucial role in the development
and evolution of entertainment. From ancient Greek and Roman amphitheaters to
modern-day virtual reality technology has enabled new forms of entertainment.

As advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have opened

new doors for people to enjoy entertainment in a whole new level, people no longer
have to wait in line for tickets to a concert or movie, nor do they have to worry about
out-of-stock albums or CDs. Instead, they have easy access to vast entertainment
options from the comfort of their own couches.

For example, online gaming has revolutionized the way people play and experience
games. They can choose from an extensive range of games and platforms, including
mobile games, console games, and PC games. Even games that used to be exclusive
to casinos, such as poker and roulette, are now available online without having to risk a
single penny.

Streaming services have also played a significant role in the evolution of entertainment.
With services like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, audiences can watch their favorite TV
shows and movies anytime and anywhere without the need for a DVD or Blu-ray. Music
streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music have also made it possible for users to
access vast libraries of music with a simple click of a button.

ICT has also created new opportunities for user-generated content and social media
influencers. It also made people realize the importance of free speech and opinion, and
kept people updated from local and international events.

In conclusion, the advancements in technology have transformed the entertainment

industry and created new opportunities for people to enjoy entertainment in innovative
and exciting ways. However, the potential of ICT extends far beyond entertainment, as it
continues to revolutionize and transform other fields, making it a powerful and
indispensable tool in our modern society. As technology continues to evolve, we can
only imagine the incredible possibilities that lie ahead.
