History

The "ancient craft of communicating events and experiences, using words, images, sounds and gestures" by telling a story is not only how people passed on their cultural values and traditions, and history from one generation to another, but it has also been an essential part of most forms of entertainment ever since the earliest times. Stories are still told in the early forms, for example, around a fire while camping, or when listening to the stories of another culture as a tourist. Leisure time has been a determining factor in developing recreation and entertainment as an industry. Entertainment has grown as an industry in step with increased income and time available for leisure and recreation. Economic development, often quantified in productivity or output per person-hour, has enabled goods and services to be produced with fewer labor inputs
