Every year I get more and more impressed by just how radically humane a technology TV is. If you think it saves your sanity during slumps, imagine people in nursing homes, disabled and/or old and alone people etc. TV is literally their only friend and makes life worth living.

You could make the argument that without TV people might spend more time with their families though. Or that it's a crutch/bandaid for lonely people that allows them to pretend they aren't lonely without actually solving that problem.

So? What’s wrong with crutches? And why shouldn’t people without good families etc have good lives? Everything is a band aid if you look at it the right way. Maybe family is just a band aid for real problem of nothing good on tv 😆

There's nothing wrong with crutches per se, it just depends on the relative amount they help you vs hold you back. TV watching could just be a local loneliness minima that our society is just stuck in right now.
