A SENSE OF ENTERTAINMENT AT HOME

    In these current times, we must commit to all our lives being essentially stuck behind the safety and solitude of our own homes. Whilst it is important to know the go-to essentials to work at home (if your interested, see last week's post created by Antoine (It's a really engaging read!) we must also try our best to try to create a healthy work-life balance. 
    In doing so we must try to entertain ourselves through our own personal mediums that can be found in our own homes. So today your favorite resident guide to all things in popular culture will give you the insider information to the best mediums to keep yourself entertained whilst stuck at home.

1- The go-to basics

    First off, let's begin with the simple simons of personal home entertainment. 

    Television- We all have a television (I hope) and in the modern-day, it is the centrepiece of the modern-day living room in which every piece of furniture will be moved in the direction of the screen solely for entertainment purposes. There is an extremely wide variety of content for you to consume that can spans across endless genres for any mood.

    Radio- Arguably the most forgotten form of home entertainment takes the form of the little box that makes music. Whilst the radio industry is still popular there is a very limited variety in content that a person can consume. But it can be a good form of entertainment on your commute if you are not required to work at home.

    Video games- A popular form of entertainment among the "younger generation" of people who are technologically adept, it is a form of entertainment that can be a way of wasting or as others would say, investing countless hours of entertainment. Whether it is through a console or your personal computer there are many different options for you to enjoy your time.

    Reading- The oldest form of entertainment in the book (pun intended) reading helps us learn more and open us up to a wide variety of stories and perspectives that can help enlighten us and help us pass our time.

2- The new forms of entertainment

    In the last ten years, new concepts for entertainment have come into the industry and have become staples in such a short amount of time.

    Video streaming- Arguably the biggest form of modern-day home entertainment, video streaming offers a larger variety of content and entertainment that even their biggest competitor television can't match. A medium that can be consumed almost anywhere, many different service providers let us enjoy an endless amount of content that makes us waste our time by having us binge content to our heart's content.

    Music streaming- The newest way to enjoy music, music streaming has essentially replaced extracurricular listening to the radio. These streaming platforms help bridge the gap between an artist and their audience by helping them release new content easier and faster and helps us pass more time easier by listening to a wide variety of discographies across many different genres and artists.

    We know that it is important to enjoy your time when you are not working and I believe that these mediums are some of the best to pass your time.
