How someone’s personal life can be affected by Entertainment & Leisure using ICT
Entertainment & Leisure has taken a great leap into the internet as almost any form of entertainment can be accessed from the internet whether it is games, music, movies or even listening to the radio. Online entertainment is now a part of our daily routine which we can’t ignore. Advancement of technology allowed things like MUDs, music and video playback on the internet possible most of which can be accessed for free without having to pay for anything. We can also download almost anything over a P2P client or network for free as well but you must be cautious with what you download as it is illegal to download anything you haven’t brought.
The disadvantage with this is that these kind of things are considered illegal and if you were caught doing this then you will have to pay a hefty fine or even worse you might go to prison for a long time due to piracy.

Someone’s social life can be affected because people can socialise with friends and family regardless of location instantly. Things like online gaming helps bring the gaming community together. Things such as Xbox Live allows voice chat and instant messaging in real time making you able to talk with friends as well as making new friends. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter allow people to communicate over the internet where they can share things like a link to a video or photographs.

How someone’s professional life can be affected by Entertainment & Leisure using ICT
Someone in a professional workplace can be affected by entertainment and leisure using ICT.

Also becoming preoccupied with other things can slow down the progression of work and falling behind which can lead to problems such as a suspension from work or worse.
