Technology has significantly changed how people engage in various daily activities. Some examples of how technology has replaced previous methods include: listening to music with MP3 players instead of record players; finding local events using computers rather than radios; accessing news through TVs and computers rather than radios; communicating with friends and family by phone rather than letters; being entertained at home through TVs and cinemas instead of public theaters; playing games on computers and TVs instead of outdoor games like hide and seek; and watching films using DVDs instead of going to the movie theater.
