Tech in "Time Occupation"

The technology in entertainment has undergone some drastic and subtle changes over the last century. Children and adults used to occupy themselves with a rousing game of "stick ball" which later evolved into baseball and gained a since of structure with rules and professional teams. In the middle of the century the first arcade video games were produced and with that many people flocked to stores and arcades and spent hours and millions with this new and fun technology. As the decades passed the number of people that played video games has increased by numbers that no one foresaw. People that play lots of video games or "Gamers" have grown in to a nation of their own and have forced people to be more accepting of their lives and ideals. This some nation of gamers is increasing and in the next years nearly everyone will have played at least one.

One another side there are the sports enthusiasts. These are the people that are always knowledgeable in sports and are always watching some sort of sport whether it be football, baseball, soccer, or whatever. Like gamers there is a varying kinds of sports fans, some might know what is happening with the team in their local area, while others will know what is happening for the teams everywhere. Some of these people have been considered crazy and addicted but they are just enthusiastic about something that brings them joy.

technology in music

Technology in music has made it much more entertaining and complex than it used to be. In the beginning all we had available was our voices and simple stringed instruments. now we have electric and acoustic guitars, horns, drums, generated sounds, and much more. The generated sounds offer up thousands of sounds for whatever you want and sounds the best with its nearly unlimited customization. People had to rely on their stringed instrument to get tempo and rhythm while now we have many instruments that cooperate to move the song along and make awe inspiring sounds when heard together.
