I don’t see the point of television these days, especially if you have easy access to internet. I have almost no clue of what’s happening in the world except the big global stuff, nevermind my country. We’re getting poorer, less jobs, yadayada… I bet that’s what’s going on in the news.

And I don’t watch media, I rather watch clips of movies I grew up with on YouTube.

    I’m so old that I can watch reruns of a series that I’ve already watched and laugh at the same jokes because I forgot the episode.

    Also, it’s not the healthiest habit, but TV numbs the mind so that I can forget about my problems long enough to fall asleep.

    I’m turning into my dad. I remember waking up early to get to school and seeing my dad sleeping in his recliner with sportsline on very low volume. Now I use TV to get to sleep, too.

      I got into a habit of falling asleep on the sofa because watching tv was the only way I could fall asleep with insomnia. That last years until moving and getting a new sofa. The new sofa wasn’t ready at the new place and I had no choice but to sleep in my bed (there’s no television in the bedroom). I still move to the sofa if I wake up in the middle of the night and feel restless.
