Entertaiment is the ability to divert, amuse and enjoy oneself. It is a form of recreation, often involving the senses, and may be in any form from playing games to attending concerts or reading books.

It is a common feature of human culture that forms of entertainment change and evolve over time to suit different purposes and audience. Its broad range of possibilities means that it is a major form of communication media for many individuals, groups and societies around the world.
