Easy to say, but you're in a hotel zapping to find content.

So would you rather not have the technology then?

Actually, TV is a technology I find it very easy not to have.

There is one in the house somewhere...

A world without David Attenborough, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Rod Serling, Star Trek, BSG or real time global news coverage? No thanks. You can keep your dark age papyrus.

You guys must have zero content in your govt. regulated worlds.

Reading can't replace this:

but can you think of a bigger tech culprit?

For breaking down the family unit? Yes. Texting, video games, and the Internet. More people will watch TV with at least one other person in the family than would do the other three. Personally I see an attack on television just about on par with an attack on literature or any other form of media expression. There's a lot of shitty books, magazines or journals. DVRs and cord cutting/subscription services also give you control of content improving quality, efficiency, and time management. Not to mention virtually eliminating useless marketing from commercials.

When I watch something good I notify friends and family and then we talk about it afterward. They do the same.

Put simply, I think my life experience would have been negatively impacted if television had never been invented. I think I'd be a dumber and even less interesting person than I am today. Can't say that about social media or automated traffic cameras.

No Looney Tunes, Animaniacs or South Park?!  How would we ever learn about the Japanese otherwise?
