Before the internet was created there was TV. Television was the social media back in the 1930’s all the way up to the 1990’s and generations have had certain attachments to it and the TV shows and movies it broadcast. Social behaviour and social interaction was mostly about TV as opposed to the ancient social interaction was mostly about religions, gods, wars and the bloody spectacle of the Roman Gladiators.
At least now our taste for entertainment is just pretence, a make-believe of some sorts but I must say is far more entertaining than the gruesome past. Aside from reading interesting blog posts, seeing all the nice images along with them and tons of freebies and special offers; the internet allows you to stream movies at will (or as long as the movie is available to view that is).
Watching Movies Anytime Anywhere
Most people may have not noticed it but it is an amazing achievement for some our bright minds to develop a system that allows us to stream movies online. I mean, this was THE most talked about topic back in the days of our grandparents and now we are living in it, although it is awkward to see that some of us are not at all excited about it. You can watch all your favorite movies and TV shows now anytime anywhere as long as there’s a cellular network available in the area (for Wifi connections) or a modem-router that broadcasts the Wifi signal and/or a direct RJ-45 Ethernet cable connection. Whether it’s on your laptop, tablet, smartphone or any other mobile device you can be sure that there will be less boring days. Of course you can also stream movies comfortably at home.

Today there are dozens and dozens of websites that offer online streaming (videos and music) for both paid and free subscription. As always both have advantages and disadvantages when you will use them but the take away is that all of them are enjoyable and very entertaining. Here are some of the most recommended websites that provides online streaming services and internet TV:
1) Netflix– is an internet-based TV network that provides on-demand internet streaming media to all the viewers. While they have a wide variety of TV shows (some are originally produced even) and exclusive rights to certain movies that allows them to release them simultaneously with movie theaters; their services are not free. However, the benefits outweighs the disadvantages of having to pay for TV shows and movies on their portal.
2) Google Play – it’s an online-based TV & Movie streaming channel that works with all Android devices, Kindle Fire, Nook and Google Chrome Web browser. It’s also a paid subscription and the higher the price on the deals, the better streaming service you will get.
