I wasn’t allowed to watch TV as a kid so I read books instead. You might think this did something for my brain but it didn’t. I don’t remember a thing I read and my vocabulary doesn’t stand out. The main thing I remember is being alienated from others and missing out on cultural touchstones. There are fewer cultural touchstones happening on TV but to the extent there are, I think they are still worth having a TV for.
