Entertaiment is a wide-ranging field, encompassing any form of play or recreation for the purpose of amusement. It can range from a single person choosing their own private entertainment through the ever-increasing array of pre-recorded products; to a banquet adapted for two people; to a public performance intended for thousands. It can also have a serious purpose, such as ceremony, religious festival or satire. [1]
