Entertaiment is the stuff that makes you forget your troubles and wish that it could just last forever. It’s also the stuff that a lot of people make a living from. In fact, it’s an industry with a massive economic footprint and one that is constantly changing. This article, adapted from an earlier T E News piece, explores some of the current trends in entertainment. The word entertainment derives from the Medieval Latin intertenere, from the prefix inter meaning “inside” and the suffix ten, from the Indo-European root for stretching.
