Electronic Industries Blog










Television was a huge phenomenon when it first came out. People watched it mainly for entertainment and then soon after they could watch the news.  Now, we have a great resource called the Internet. The Internet feeds us information on basically anything that we need or want to know at any given time. When watching the news on TV, we don’t have to wait for something that finds our interest but instead we can just jump on the computer and find something interesting that happened anywhere in the world. When watching TV shows, we don’t have to wait for it to come on or if we missed half of it, we can just jump right back onto the Internet and find it there. The same goes for music videos, if MTV, BET, or even VH1 don’t have any videos on or the ones that they do have on don’t interest you, then the internet is the place to go for looking up good videos that fit your taste. The Internet has converted to cell phones, which is an amazing new technology. Anyone who has the Internet on their phone can get on the Internet to watch, listen, read, or chat anytime they want. Back in the day when people relied solely on their computers for their information, now they can be anywhere at anytime to get the information that they need. It saves time, but it is costly. 

Many people will pay for it though since it’s such a great necessity to have. One main convergence from the TV to the Internet is YouTube. This amazing site lets you watch anything you want including music videos, funny clips that are entertaining, movie clips, TV shows, and much more. I would think that television would be mad at YouTube because it’s allowing more and more people to stop watching TV and go straight to the site and watch it. But in an article that I read, MediaShift said that major TV programs are striking deals and promoting their shows with YouTube so television is taking advantage of the Internet while the Internet is taking advantage of television. 



I have two main website blogs that I have been visiting a lot recently. The first one is The Celebrity Body Gossip blog. Not only do I love hearing what people have to say about celebrities but it also makes me feel better about myself and to love my body the way it is.  This blog talks about celebrities that are too skinny and also has photos to prove it. People leave comments and talk about it and I find myself agreeing and disagreeing. The second blog that I like a little better would have to be Celebrity Today. This blog definitely talks about the A list celebrities and what exactly they are up to. The blog has great photos. For example, one blog talks about Rihanna and her new photo shoot and has great photos from it. I think Celebrity Today is the most effective because it is up to date and has great information. The people leaving comments aren’t mean like everywhere else so it’s nice to see positive people. I think this blog is effective for anyone who wants to know what’s happening in the entertainment industry and what celebrities are up to. It definitely will have me coming back for more!
