In [[Video Games]], loading new data such as the next level takes time. Just throwing up a black screen during the process might cause players to think the game isn't working. In order to prevent this, the loading screen was born. It might be as simple as the word "Loading" on the black screen or might include colourful animation or progress bars to show that, "no really, the game ''is'' working on something right now..."

Loading screens can also be found in [[Web Animation|Flash animations]]. If they go for ''too'' long, it results in [[Loads and Loads of Loading]].
