Entertaiment is important for the well-being of people – it relieves boredom, helps develop skills needed for work and family life and gives people something to talk about. People enjoy entertainment in many different ways, from listening to music and seeing performances to playing games and engaging in sedentary activities like reading and watching TV or video games. The famous story of Scheherazade, a professional storyteller in the Persian tradition, entertained so many people that it was turned into orchestral music by Rimsky-Korsakov and others; into a film by Pasolini; and into an innovative video game.
