Entertainment through Smartphones Gone are the days when you had to rely on your big TV screens to watch your favorite TV program, such as current affairs shows, drama, movies, music etc. smart phones have made it incredibly easy to enjoy all these different forms of entertainment on them. Whether movies, audio songs, recorded lectures or whatever, smart phones seem equipped with features to play them all entertain you in the best possible ways. Depending on the storage capacity of a smart phone, you can use it for the purpose by storing videos and audio files on it to enjoy them later when you are on the move. The fact smart phones provide you with chances to get entertained even when you are away from your home, with friends, or in a place where there are no signs of a cinema, Internet, or a TV anywhere near, you still have your mobile cinema on your palm in the form of these smart phones. The incredible feature of smart phones to send and receive data files via Bluetooth and such other options, has made them look even more desirable. And because of these features entertainment is no big deal for smart phones. The availability of video games to be played on smart phones is yet another source of entertainment for all and sundry. Online download options have made smart phones a mighty means of entertainment. Along with the basic functions of sending and receiving text messages and making voice and video calls, smart phones have become a reliable option for entertainment and in most of the cases, they seem to excel every other traditional means of entertainment, such as radio, TV, DVD player, PlayStation and so on. With the increasing options and features which allow you to have entertainment through smart phones, some problems of this advancement have also started to surface. One of the major problems is parents’ concern. The fact parents do not have any check and balance on the forms of entertainment through smart phones makes these gadgets look a little undesirable. Entertainment content of all kinds is easily available on smart phones and you can literally have no restrictions on what your child is having on his smart phone. The fact smart phones offer entertainment anywhere whether you are in home, school, in the company of parents or with friends, makes them such a lethal source of entertainment because then there is no concept of parental control. The very fact that smart phones have made entertainment much easier and more easily accessible has another negative aspect and that is wastage of time. Today's students, having smart phones, tend to consume as much time on enjoying different forms of entertainment on their smart phones as they spend on their studies. The phenomenon of entertainment through smart phones looks to have backfired because smart phones give extremely easy options for unrestricted entertainment. What that means is there is no denying the fact that smart phones have made it easy for us to rely on them for entertainment, but at the same time a greater sense of responsibility is expected from us while using smart phones as a means of entertainment.
