Entertaiment
People need entertainment to break the routine of a hard-working life and to re-energise themselves. Although advances in technology have altered the availability, cost and variety of forms of entertainment, their core elements remain relatively stable. Stories, for example, are perennially popular; the Scheherazade story from Persian professional storytelling has been retold many times in other forms of entertainment such as music (Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel each wrote an orchestral work on the theme); film and video games have also been created from this source.
