Entertainment
What do you like to do for entertainment? A research company recently asked this question to thousands of people in different cities and towns. The top four answers in order were: 1) watch TV; 2) use the Internet; 3) watch films; and 4) read books.
Many people were surprised by these results. They thought that more people liked to go out to restaurants and parks or spend time in the mall. But an increasing number of people prefer to stay home and watch TV and films in their own living room. “Going out with friends is too expensive,” one respondent said. “And it is more comfortable to be at home on your own couch, watching TV. Also there are many films available on TV now so we don’t have to go out and rent a DVD from a video store.”
Many restaurants and video stores offer all kind of small gifts and discounts to attract customers, but the amount of people who prefer to stay at home rather than go out continues to increase. As the internet takes over and viewers have access to more channels and programmes, even more people will be staying home for their entertainment!
