What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment is anything that provides amusement or pleasure, although it can have a serious purpose – such as ceremonial celebrations, religious festivals or satire. Its a vast area, which has demonstrated the capacity to evolve and adapt, and it can be experienced at any scale – from a single individual downloading music from a now huge array of digital products; to a dinner party where entertainment may be provided by a private entertainer; or a performance intended for thousands. It can even be a global experience, with entertainment being available through satellite TV and the internet. [1] — Article by John M.
