What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment

Entertaiment: A show put on for the enjoyment of others.

Entertaiment is a broad concept, covering a multitude of activities and mediums. It encompasses any form of entertainment that can be consumed by a person or group of people, from film and television to sports and art.

The origin of the word “entertainment” is derived from the Latin intertenere, meaning “to hold inside.” This prefix and suffix may seem unrelated to the current usage of the word in our society.

Ultimately, the value of entertainment lies in its ability to transport an audience into another world for an immersive experience that provides euphoric pleasure and makes them wish that the moment never ends or just lasts forever. To do that, the entertainment industry must always push itself to innovate and evolve with changing consumer needs and desires.
