Analysis on Online Streaming Services: Is it better than cable television?

I've decided to analyze online streaming services and whether or not it's better than cable television because it is something that many of people use daily, including myself. As a user myself, I feel that online streaming services give you the option of watching whenever you want, wherever you want, and as often as you want. I am able to watch tv shows and movies from a computer, phone, or the iPad through a streaming service without being bound to a television. However, others may feel differently because of what they are use to. With the rise of the internet streaming services have become more popular to younger generations and transformed the way people find their entertainment sources. As competition continues to rise between different online streaming services, such as Netflix, Hulu and Disney+, it's important to understand why online streaming has become so popular and why it is seen as more convenient than the television. I plan to provide a research the history of television and its transition to online streaming services, as well as analyze the positive and negative effects, as well as its changes to society.

I am currently playing Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. When first downloading this application, you are first presented with choosing the clothes, hair style and accessories for your character. This allowed me to express myself through a character and what kind of clothing i am more attracted to. It also allows you to decorate a camper van, which showcases the ability to create and showcase what my ideal house decorates or what kind of furniture i am interested in. Although this game is not super ideal with real life, it gives the experience of catching fish, shells, or bugs and helping other animals by completing requests in order to earn bells (currency on Animal Crossing) or supplies in order to customize your camp or camper the way you want. Below are images depicting how the game works and the customization of my camper van and campsite, as well as the activities available on the game. As I continue to play this game, I will be able to further customize myself with ease when I am

A type of new media that does not exist to this day is the constant use of virtual reality in everyday environments. Currently, virtual reality exists, but on the aspects that it is mostly seen to be used for entertainment features. With little development to this field, it is hard to imagine a world where we are constantly using this for convenience. However, I believe it is possible to implement the use of virtual reality for other fields, such as education. Some aspects of education that can be implemented is a virtual field trip, where students are able to imagine the environment of being in a different place. This can also be super beneficial for distance learning too because one may like to experience the aspects of learning in a classroom and this can be done through virtual reality. Another application to virtual reality that can be potentially added is the use of exercising environments. Due to the arising pandemic, it has been harder for people to exercise outside or visit t
