  Yep. Basically, TV 2.0.

    I wonder if the next such trend, maybe among gen alpha or their progeny, will be "I don't use the internet". I wouldn't even know how that would work, then again, I'm sure someone in the 80s wouldn't have been able to imagine life without TV.

      "I don't use the web," is more likely. Even more likely is, "I never use the web directly: I have my agent / AI interact with the web on my behalf".

      not "the internet", but maybe tiktok and friends. not having a tv in 2023 is like not having a fax machine. yea, cool. you and everyone else of your generation. but like people above said, maybe you don't have a tv but you waste 4 hours a day on TikTok. I don't see how it's different. nothing to be proud of, if you're just wasting time on "tv 2.0".

      >I wonder if the next such trend, maybe among gen alpha or their progeny, will be "I don't use the internet". They're already doing it: they don't use Facebook, which in the minds of the Boomers equals "the internet". I personally haven't used the internet in ages: I have an ad-blocker on all my browsers.

  There's a pattern to these things. Television has always been overrated. Same with radio. We will look back and say the same things about iPhone. You laugh now, but I promise it will happen. Just hope our next thing is something we can switch off.
