With the incredible advances in technology over the last few decades, it would have been reasonable to expect that a lot of the old ways of doing things would become obsolete. This hasn’t been the case, though, and a lot of the things that people loved from the past are still enjoyed by many today. Instead of solely catapulting the human race forward, technology has actually enabled more variety than ever before. Now, people can select modern-day experiences or old fashioned ones, depending on their preferences.

Technology Has Brought About Incredible Diversity
One of the most notable things about the advancement of technology is the diversity that it has brought about. With modern entertainment options, users have the option to enjoy things in a vast number of ways. The Nintendo Switch is a recent innovation that shows how technological advancements can bring about more choice in how to play. The revolutionary console can operate as a handheld, portable device, but it also gives players the opportunity to plug it in to a television and use it as a traditional console.
A lot of game developers are now making their games available across a wide range of platforms, allowing players the freedom to choose where they want to enjoy them. Most modern console games will be available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Microsoft. A lot of them also have related mobile apps for Android and iOS.

The same thing can be said in other areas of the entertainment industry.
Even though tech has created this incredible amount of choice, players still have the option to play games that existed way before any of these devices were invented. Board games like Monopoly and Risk have been adapted for internet audiences, and the modern versions still stay true to the classic games of old. Of course, people can continue to play these table games in an offline scenario as well. Board game cafes have been on the rise in recent years, showing that many people are still interested in this way of playing.

Film Tech Has Brought About Brand New Genres
Technological advances in the film industry have brought about whole new genres that never existed before, and this is likely to continue in the future. The superhero epic could be considered as one of the freshest genres in cinema. Comic book adaptations have been around for some time, but they only became truly spectacular in the last fifteen years.
Marvel Studios has been the driving force behind the modern-day superhero genre. Using advanced technology and CGI, the popular studio has achieved a vast number of visual innovations. For example, in Doctor Strange there were some amazing scenes using VFX to bend cities. The portals that Benedict Cumberbatch’s character can create in the 2017 film are also highly impressive on the eye.
Instead of moving the film industry into a new era where everything solely relies on special effects, advanced technology has once again brought about more variety. These new, CGI-heavy genres exist alongside all the other popular types of film that have been successful for so many years.
Now, directors have a choice when creating their films. They can go for the modern look with enhanced special effects, or they can stick to older methods and eschew modern tech completely. The genre of the film will have a heavy impact on what they end up deciding to do.
This freedom belongs to the viewers as well. A film lover could quite easily carry on watching the genres they know and love without experiencing any modern film tech at all if they wished to do so. On the flip side of that, a different viewer would have the choice to only watch advanced films that include CGI if that’s what they preferred.
Different Ways to Experience Music
Technology has had a major impact on the music industry as well, and the way people listen to songs has changed so much in a short space of time. Being able to stream music via MP3 was a revolutionary innovation in itself, but this was made even more remarkable with the introduction of subscription services. Now, users have almost every song ever recorded at their fingertips.
Despite the fact that users now have access to so much content and can listen to high-quality recordings, some people still choose to use older methods when listening to music. Vinyl records are still a popular option and are sought after by collectors. Some music fans like listening to them because they have more of an authentic feel, and can also stir up feelings of nostalgia.
With all of these examples, it is clear that technological advancements have enabled greater variety, rather than pushing older methods towards becoming obsolete. Now, entertainment seekers have the choice between using modern day methods or older ones when they listen to music, play games, or watch films. It means that there will always be something to suit everyone’s tastes.
