Fun is the enjoyment of pleasure, particularly in leisure activities. Fun is an experience — short-term, often unexpected, informal, not cerebral and generally purposeless. It is an enjoyable distraction, diverting the mind and body from any serious task or contributing an extra dimension to it. Although particularly associated with recreation and play, fun may be encountered during work, social functions, and even seemingly mundane activities of daily living. It may often have little to no logical basis, and opinions on whether or not an activity is fun may differ. A distinction between enjoyment and fun is difficult but possible to articulate, fun being a more spontaneous, playful, or active event. There are psychological and physiological implications to the experience of fun.

According to Johan Huizinga, fun is an absolutely primary category of life, familiar to everybody at a glance right down to the animal level. Psychological studies reveal both the importance of fun and its effect on the perception of time, which is sometimes said to be shortened when one is having fun. As the adage states: Time flies when youre having fun.

It has been suggested that games, toys, and activities perceived as fun are often challenging in some way. When a person is challenged to think consciously, overcome challenge and learn something new, they are more likely to enjoy a new experience and view it as fun. A change from routine activities appears to be at the core of this perception, since people spend much of a typical day engaged in activities that are routine and require limited conscious thinking. Routine information is processed by the brain as a chunked pattern: We rarely look at the real world, according to game designer Raph Koster, we instead recognize something we have chunked, and leave it at that. One might argue that the essence of much of art is in forcing us to see things as they really are rather than as we assume them to be. Since it helps people to relax, fun is sometimes regarded as a social lubricant, important in adding to ones pleasure in life and helping to act as a buffer against stress. (source : wikipedia)
