Have you ever wanted to feel like part of the action while you watched a film? You can, at an Imax Dome Theatre like the one at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. The screen at these theatres surrounds the audience. As the sound system has 44 speakers behind the screen, the sound seems very real. Many of the films shown at these theatres are nature films.

You can achieve a similar effect in your own sitting room with a home entertainment system. A home entertainment system uses a wide, flat-screen TV. Often, this is suspended on the wall like a picture. Stereo speakers are arranged round the viewers. Digital technology makes both the picture and the sound clear.

For music lovers, there is always MP3. Since MP3 players were introduced in 1997, people have taken them everywhere. An MP3 player uses digital technology to record and play music.

You no longer have to carry CDs or cassettes with you.
