Entertainment is something that holds the attention and interest of an audience,
or gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or a task, but is
more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed
over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an
audience's attention.
Although people's attention is held by different things, because
individuals have different preferences in entertainment, most forms are
recognisable and familiar. Storytelling, music, drama, dance, and different kinds of performance exist in all cultures, were supported in royal courts,
developed into sophisticated forms and over time became available to
all citizens. The process has been accelerated in modern times by an entertainment industry
which records and sells entertainment products. Entertainment evolves
and can be adapted to suit any scale, ranging from an individual who
chooses a private entertainment from a now enormous array of
pre-recorded products; to a banquet adapted for two; to any size or type of party, with appropriate music and dance; to performances intended for thousands; and even for a global audience.
