I've not watched live/streamed programmes on any tv that i have owned for many years now - although i do still have a 100Hz crt tv that i watch the occasional dvd on, and i do choose to watch an online film/series via my laptop, very occasionally / periodically...
I remember walking into our living-room during my early 20's once, just as a regular tv series had just ended/finished - only for my rather concerned mother to say, 'you'll never guess what's happened to Deidri'...
With a very mild sense of astonishment i replied, 'you do know that's it's just make-believe don't you mum???...
To which i then observed a momentary and somewhat confused transitioning from a world of make-believe, back to a world of reality, as final comprehension dawned on my mother's face...
Even though i've never been a dedicated watcher of tv, i do remember occasions when the thought of 'why are you wasting your life away watching this stuff???' (or something similar) has entered my mind...
And then, on other occasions, thinking words such as, 'why am i putting this crap into my head/mind???'...
In today's world such a situation seems to have become even worse(???) - the visual definition is now a lot, clearer / more realistic, and the sound quality more immersive(???)...
The obvious fact is that we all/each have the free-will choice of what we choose to feed our minds with - do we not???...
So why choose to infuse/feed/condition(???) our minds with unhealthy images, dialogues and sounds (from any offered/given source), when we can simply choose to do otherwise???...
