Entertainment has been a component of the human culture but over the recent years, the role has evolved greatly. It was not something complex; it was just leisure but nowadays, it is a huge determinant of the lifestyle, communication, and even identity. Entertainment today is not merely about spending free time, but it determines the way people think, interact and relax.

Access to entertainment has been changed with the help of digital technology. Films, songs, shows, podcasts and short-form videos can be accessed in real-time, on any device. This availability has also made entertainment more personalized where people are able to watch what they want when they want to watch it and not necessarily based on a fixed program.

Simultaneously, the contribution of content has changed the way people consume entertainment. Consumers are no longer passive consumers. They are proactive in choosing, reading, posting and discussing content in social tools and online forums. Entertainment is no longer solitary and detached but is now social and interactive.

Nevertheless, constant availability requires conscious use. The phenomenon of endless scrolling and autoplay can confuse the state of relaxation and exhaustion. The appreciation of entertainment as a way to have fun, not to commit to it, can enable people to balance.

Entertainment improves creativity, relaxation, as well as cultural awareness when handled in a desirable way. It enters the realm of the meaningful aspect of everyday life, instead of background sound.
