A laptop can provide a number of entertaining options if people are bored. Some things that people can do to keep them entertained on a laptop include listening to music using a media player, or watching DVDs if the laptop enables them to. People can also create slideshows and photo albums, and even lists of things to do, or lists of items that they possess. The internet can also provide people with the opportunity to read books online, as well as newspapers and magazines. YouTube is an entertaining website and once a person views one video in a particular category, the website automatically suggests related videos that may be of interest to them. Music can also be listened to on MySpace and this website is especially useful for people who are interested in up and coming artists who haven't had any other exposure, as the site enables them to upload their own songs and to receive some recognition. People may actually choose to upload their own songs onto MySpace or their own videos onto YouTube, and these can both be achieved with relative ease. Games can also be played on a laptop, either as a purchased game, or a streaming or downloaded game. There are also forums and chat rooms that people can visit and there are endless subjects to read or talk about. There are several social networking sites available online such as Facebook and Tagged, where people can create a profile, and upload photos. They can then interact with friends. People can contact others they may not have been in touch with for a while on sites like Friends Reunited. Some people may also like to try and build their family tree, or look up recipes for new dishes. Live streaming video can also be watched on a laptop, with a large variety of programming available on a number of different websites.
