What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment is about having a good time and experiencing pleasure, or being amused. It can involve many activities, and may include watching movies or television, listening to music, playing games, sports, reading books or magazines, visiting museums or art galleries, and other events. Entertaiment can be adapted to any scale: from a private entertainment for two from pre-recorded products; to an elaborate banquet; to a party for a few hundred people, with food, drink and music; or a performance intended for thousands.
