That's not so strange nowadays. My husband for instance does not watch t.v. He gets everything he needs off the internet. Also, we have Roku if we want to stream movies. I only have a few t.v. programs that I watch and maybe the local news and that's it.

My order was very clear girl, "don't say otherwise". Is that so hard to understand?

lol lol lol

To answer OPs question, I'm not owning a TV anymore. In the past I was watching several hours daily, but I got rid of mine ~7-8 years ago. Now I'm an internet addict, not that much better lol

if we say 'tv', what exactly do we mean these days?

A big flatscreen with an internet connection is a tv, or is it more a giant computer where you watch intenret stuff? Which is bascially the same as wacthing a smartphoner, only bigger.

Or is a tv 'that thing that displays what goes via cable or satellite'?

In the second case, i watch only some sports games on tv.

I'd say a monitor you watch moving pictures on and call it a day.

I was trying to say why be so technical about? A tv isn't nothing more than a monitor that has moving pictures projected on it. Based on what most people are posting, devices with monitors are still being used frequently so I don't see the difference between the time spent on the tradition tv and the new tech. Am I missing something?

"call it a day" is a figure of speech. I meant basically to sum it up , complete it or end it.

A screen is a screen. My roommate says I watch a lot of TV while he lays there with an iPhone six inches from his face.... Watching stuff that is on "TV".
.
People carry their TV around with them in their pockets now and do all kinds of things with them for hours on end as a reflex. This morning for instance a young lady walking slowly in front of me towards an escalator was typing something so furiously that I lifted my device a bit higher, pretended to type as furiously, and cut right in front of her. She didn't even notice. Spoken word is becoming obsolete as TV. It's a strange zombification, not couch potatoes but walking potatoes.

It's still something you watch entertaining you.


I'm skeptical about people are just now being zombified.

Good point however these days the device is also watching you! lol The difference between books and newspapers are twofold on buses and trains, one being the device can also hold a conversation using voice and/or text, video, snap, gif whatever two not many people did walk full lengths with books or papers spread wide open oblivious to their surroundings. I'm wondering why not say what you need to say while in transit versus texting as you step off the train, it's silly. With phones it's getting dangerous - I saw one video of a woman falling into a cellar/basement opening that was wiiiiide open on the sidewalk and the news the other day ran a bit about someone on their phone on a crosswalk getting hit by a truck. At least with TV you're sitting in one place.

You said it there's more devices recording you, so of course there's more cases of mishaps being broadcast for the world to see, it's not like mishaps are a new thing. Only before the noisy neighbor say you be a complete idiot, not the entire world. There is a big increase in death by auto accidents. Teens, higher performance vehicles and devices are not a good mix. Yet even by the chart there were a ton more deaths in the 70s than there are today, due to mandatory seatbelt use. And even still more tech is coming out to help counteract the foolishness of some people's attention spans.
