Excellent article! We had satellite TV for a while and then gave it up because it was "annoying." Previously we'd had had cable... but after giving up the dish, we just didn't feel inclined to have commercial TV again... so now the only "connection" we have is the Internet. Anything we watch is movies-- Netflix or Amazon Prime... and that's pretty limited.
As I have aged, I just find that TV simply isn't "interesting." Giving a choice of how to spend my time, TV is just not one of them. Movies (except a select few) don't even hold my attention very much... the trend is one of of wanting to "create" (write, do art, photography) rather than "consume."
