True, although I know people who neither watch much TV nor have lots of social interactions with people. There engage in other passive activities like reading or they have a variety of hobbies, sports, etc. Some people have little need to listen to chatter, either from a box or face-to-face.
- mlyle 7y agoThe question is what causes what. We know that TV and cognitive decline in this population are associated. Does television watching cause cognitive decline? Does cognitive decline cause television watching? Does some other factor cause both television watching and cognitive decline? Knowing some people are inactive and read books doesn't help much in probing this. Because we're not asserting cognitive decline always causes television watching, or whatever.
