Entertaiment can be an important source of joy, a form of learning or even a way to get insight into societal issues [2]. It can also have negative impacts if not regulated properly [3]. Whether it is watching TV, solving the daily crossword puzzle or playing games, entertainment provides us with something enjoyable and interesting to do.
The word entertainment has its origin in the medieval Latin phrase intertenere, from the root ten, meaning “stretch,” and the prefix inter. It is an apt name for the activity because it has the ability to change the way we think, feel or behave.
