I'm not even sure what entertains "us" today. Leisure-time activities vary by class, race, occupation, age and many other (ever increasingly specific) social categories. Some of us are "laptop loners" [1] while others enjoy mass sporting events; some provide endless free labor to Facebook in their "leisure time" while others use that time to engage in protest.
