In what way is it 'elitist' to dislike the pablum ditched out by television channels? Strange, the way things go. It used to be that those who did not have a television set were seen as backwards but now it seems to be the opposite. I never liked television programming, not as a child, not as an adult. There is nothing elitist about it, I just like doing things myself. BTW, the mere fact that you're replying to a message I submitted to this forum should tell you it I do not consider everything that comes on a screen an unnecessary diversion, given the fact that the probability of me using a screen to read and enter text here is rather high. Television is quite well-defined as being a medium designed for mostly passive consumption of entertainment and information. It is the combination of hardware and a whole industry to provide programming to animate those screens. It is the latter, the industry and its products, which I dislike. The hardware can be quite useful.
