I've discussed it before (here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3439732 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3439732), but how much TV watching is borne out of inertia? How many people are plopping down in front of their television set every night because it's a formed habit? Personally, I've found that I replaced my TV habit with other habits. The new activities still fall into a similar schedule pattern.
Is anyone with a psychology background able to shed some further light on these types of behavioral patterns?
- GFischer 15y agoI never had a TV habit (1), but I waste as much time as any TV viewer (or more) as well (on the Internet mostly, though I do read a lot). (1) my father is a bit of a luddite, so I never had cable growing up, and never had a TV just for myself.
