Modern Entertainment

All throughout history, people have been entertained by others through many different things. As the years have passed, the definition of "funny" has changed. Some have their own standards of entertainment, but a lot of people enjoy the same types of entertainment. Some types are: watching people hurt themselves in a funny or stupid way, watching people get quite angry over little to nothing, etc. Back in Medieval Times, the common source of entertainment was simply a man, or jester, juggling numerous balls in the air while dancing. Now it's become a sour, tasteless thing, that back in the Medieval Times, would have come across as perfectly normal and not funny at all.

The most popular things we humans think funny are "trolling", which is initially finding something that people hate and inflicting it upon them, making them very angry. If you search  trolling on the internet, you'll find millions of videos and definitions and what-not on trolling. I myself enjoy trolling, A.K.A. watching people get angry over small issues, but if you really think about it, it sounds pathetic that we can't find anything better to make us laugh than to watch people injure themselves or get angry. Think about it.

Life

As we all know, the standard life of humans is to grow up, go to school, off to college, then get a job and work to support you and your family in order to live. But the way I think of it is, work, work, work, get a tiny bit of free time later. Why do we choose this path? The answer is because it is the path that we were all raised to travel on, and the only alternative is living on the streets with no money for food. I myself wish there was a way to work, but get a bit more free time. There's little benefit to all this work in life, because you spend most of it working and the only fun time is a few hours on weeknights, weekends and from ages 1-18, where life is a joy ride until you go off to college. We've been taught to live this way, but if you think about it it sounds crazy!
