Entertainment – friend or foe?

So the entertainment industry these days seems to be taking a turn further n further towards ENTERyourbrAINMENT. I mean, think about it – when we’re watching any of it, are we really aware of our selves at that time or do we go into a trance like state?
 
I’ve seen the expression on kids faces when they watch cartoons, their eyes all blanked out and they don’t even hear what you tell ‘em during that point. But they remember every single thing they see, word by word. So I imagine, we adults might also be in the same state when we watch whatever entertains us.
 
Movies, Reality shows, Serials, Music, Sports, Cartoons – they’re all pretty much the same as in we can lose our selves during the time we see it and spend loads of time on it even in thoughts.
 
So really when we watch any and all of this, do we lose our touch of reality even if only for that little time? Is that really what’s happening to us? Is it affecting us more than we realize? How much of it is too much? Is any of it too much? What’s the scope of these programs that we can expose our kids too?
 
These thoughts in my head these days, praying that God gives me clarity on the same.
