This has come to pass if you look at a larger definition of entertainment. I admitted my addiction to entertainment the day I woke up, turned on talk radio, listened until I went to work, listened at work until the last show I liked ended, turned on the TV at work until I went home, and turned on TV at home.

I soon realized almost everything had something to do with entertaining myself. I ate mostly to entertain myself, not to nourish my body. I read the paper for fun, not to inform myself about the world around me. I watched TV for no other purpose. Most of my educational and career choices have been made with one question in mind: How do I minimize the amount of work I do while maximizing the amount of fun?

Most stuff for sale is designed to entertain. People load their houses with electronics. Most of us even have more kitchenware than we need to sustain ourselves. Why? To entertain ourselves. Our economy would collapse in short order if people contented themselves purchasing what they need rather than much of what they want.
