Is entertainment making us better, or quietly reshaping us for the worse?

Entertainment today is instant, personalised and endless. But in an era of screens and algorithms, is this truly the golden age of creativity? Or has entertainment lost the meaning it once offered?

In this episode of ‪@DohaDebates‬ host Dareen Abughaida is joined by Dr Anna Lembke, Nicholas Carr and Marya Bangee, alongside students from Qatar Foundation’s Education City and beyond, for a majlis-style debate on modern entertainment and how it’s reshaping our minds, cultures and lifestyles.
