There are many different forms of entertainment available to all of us from our computers. Some of these are wonderfully enjoyable and virtually carefree, while some are very cumbersome and often annoying, almost losing any entertainment value they once had. When this happens there is a crossover that occurs from something being entertainment to something being irritainment.
The new word irritainment is formed from the two words, irritating and entertainment. Irritainment is not limited to only one category of media expression, irritainment can come from any source. Irritainment has the extremely annoying quality of being somewhat addictive in nature and yet totally irritating. One current example in my opinion is the TV show LOST. While I am hopelessly addicted to the show the closer we get to the series finale the more irritating the show becomes.
