Many different pass times, are now available to be played from computers via the Internet, software or Cd's. Many games are available on computers ready, such as games like Heart and Minesweeper. Many more games can be accessed via the Internet for free like Internets such as Runescape a MMORPG, which takes advantage of many people around the world logging on to servers and talking and playing the game. Games can be downloaded off the Internet (G-Mod, Counter Strike, Portal) from servers such as Steam to save money from buying the disc from a store. E-Books are available to be downloaded from the Internet to be read on computers and other handheld devices like Notebooks, Ipads and Laptops. Videos can be streamed via the Internet, from websites such as Youtube, Veoh, Dailymotion and Google Videos. These are user generated video streamers, which is a pass time for people to watch and make videos for. BBC Iplayer is a streaming website, which shows TV from the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) so people don't get behind on their favorite shows. Radio can also be stream via the site as well. Music can be streamed via the Internet from websites such as Grooveshark, Last Fm, and Spotify. Music can also be downloaded from sites such as Amazon, and Itunes. This stops people from buying the Cd's saving the user money. Videos can also be downloaded from Itunes as well.
Advantages
As more services become available via the Internet another means like Cd's etc. less money is spent to burn Cd's and pay for the Cd's, saving time and money for both producer and consumer etc.
Less physical space is taken up by Cd's, boxes, books, and can be transferred from the Hard Drive of a computer and put on to a potable Hard Drive.- As most of these are immediate, you don't have to wait to buy/order the book and receive it at home. The item can be immediately accessed without any problem.
- Some of the games can be played with friends over the Internet, making them more interactive with the use of microphones and touch screens etc.
- Due to downloads, the software can easily be pirated, and made available to the public freely via torrents, which destroys the Industry.
- MMORPGs are very time consuming and people can spend a very long time to get their characters to the maximum level. This means they can become addicted.
- Any videos can be uploaded video streaming websites, which often breaks copyright, that harms the industry.

This website has lots of different Internet games for people to play when they are bored, orjust have nothing better to do. All these games would be stream from servers to your computer, so if the Internet connection is slow or you use dial-up, these games would take a long time to stream, or be of a low quality and be jumpy and lag. These games are often short and only use simple graphics without much detail, often in a very cartoony style. These games are short and sweet and often get addictive, until you manage to complete the game, after that it is rare to go back to the game as they often have little play back qualities. Images, videos, and jokes for more entertainment.
