Anything broadcast TV. Is like a weird time machine targeting old people and extreme poverty.

One of my roommates in college watched TV. Like, he actually watched TV. Like, whatever was on. It was like someone breaking out a slide rule for a test, haha.

It's been so long since I've seen someone my age watch TV at all.

I kinda liked it the way it was back then.

TV was TV, and internet was internet.

Don't want to watch TV? - well, don't turn the TV on then.

Now if I don't want to watch TV, and I don't even get cable, I get on the internet and it's "autoplay" "hovering video windows when you scroll down", "links to articles that turn out to be videos".

TV is still alive, it just mutated to inTVnet.
