Entertaiment is a broad category of activities and experiences that stimulate laughter or other emotional reactions. It may be a personal choice of one individual, or a public event such as a circus, a carnival, a religious festival, or a political satire. It can be as simple as a book, a movie, or a party for two, or as complex as a television series or a performance for thousands. Entertaiment has been shown to be capable of cross-media remix, and the familiar forms of entertainment that we know have the potential to evolve rapidly.
