Entertaiment is any event, performance or activity designed to provide pleasure. It can be passive, like a movie or concert, or active, like playing games. Many forms of entertainment have evolved over hundreds of years and new technology has influenced them. But the same fundamentals are still present: a story, such as Scheherazade from professional storytelling tradition, can inspire Rimsky-Korsakov to write an orchestral piece; Pasolini make a film version; and a video game can be based on it.
