There is one thing we can count on even in tough times, people will still entertain their families. The frequency with which they partake in these events and the types of things they do may decrease, but not vanish. One cost cutting concept is to have the large screen television and a good set of surround speakers at home instead of going out to watch movies.

Televisions have been around for nearly a century, becoming rapidly and globally popular since the technology arrived in London. With the end of World War II, there was an ample workforce to produce such devices and people wanted luxury. The carnage of the Great War was over, consumption was the new trend.

In addition, that crisis changed how countries and their population saw the world. It was no longer safe to assume that things that happened somewhere else on the planet was not a concern at home. Watching national and international news over on the TV became nearly a regular ritual. As programming expanded, the entertainment industry exploded, with every thing from variety shows to educational programs, it was a big hit.

As time passed, the humble TV saw many changes and was adapted for many new complementary products. The ability to record programming to watch at any time outside the provider schedule was very popular. It also led to the explosion of movies available to watch at home.

We have also witnesses the demise of certain types of attachments as they were improved. The old cathode ray tube devices gave way to the plasma and liquid crystal displays, and the VCR was replaced by the DVD. Ironically, it may be replaced by the newer Blu-ray disc.

Even this advantage is being integrated into the venerable home television. High definition has made watching sporting events on large flat screens rival the thrill of being at the live event. With the ability to pause live programming, replay and recording, some think it is better to see the sports at home. Now there are companies producing three dimension capable home sets.

The last piece of the movie theater to try for a home replication is how you hear the movies. Large theaters have systems that allow one to almost feel the sound. But with better surround speakers, wireless headsets and shure earphones available, it is possible to get the big screen experience in the family living room.
