The Chief Business of America Is Entertainment

The entertainment industry has become a dominant force in American business.  Social media — one of a key and growing segment of the entertainment businesses — includes tech devices, such as cell phones and pads, magazines, print newspapers, movies, games, and pornography.  It has emerged because of the digital way we work today:  released from space and place. Many have flex-jobs, in cars, at home, rather than office, which allow for squeezing in some entertainment. Ear buds, so prevalent on streets, today are likely delivering some form of entertainment:  music, podcasts, even books.

One element of this new age of entertainment is the natural hunger to play, listen to stories, be amused.  The Internet expanded this universe so that we work, shop, play games, socialize, read news — online. The Internet is even more seductive when is marries information and entertainment.
