Digital Television came in a few years ago - I noticed a shift in my family and friends, a cultural shift, so subtle almost impossible to put my finger on - but i noticed it. I haven't owned or regularly watched a TV for 10 years (since 1998) and pretty much find it an antagonistic insult to my humanity... It helps me be immune from these shifts...
and the other worse thing is - it's going to get even worse! - it's also getting much harder to express these ideas to the younger members of our society..

TRUE! I never watch TV anymore.
I'd rather eat my own hand then sit through a half an hour episode of Eastenders...
They always leave me feeling so deflated- JUST LEAVE THE SQUARE PLEASE, FORGET THE FRUIT STALL AND THE VIC.
I think if you watch soaps, your whole perception of reality just becomes limited.
