Like watching television, reading a book, or going to
the movies, the Internet itself is a form of entertainment. For many people surfing the Web has become a way to relax and be--well, entertained. That said,
there are also a vast number of "entertainment" sites online, dedicated to the worlds of music, movies, television,
eating and drinking, among others. Interested in dinner and a movie? Television and popcorn? A good book?
