(14yo son)Those who whinged years ago about the TV cutting into family quality time would be wishing to have it back like it used to be Everyone's pretty much able to find their own entertainment now, instead of being forced to settle for what the traditional media served up to us in the lounge room.Family meal times and proper bed times and it's not actually too bad. We actually talk more about the things we've found and that we think the other would be interested in rather than just stare dumbly at the screen while whatever crap sitcom is on.Next step I can see the TV getting used in the future a bit more and us sharing the lounge again with streaming - as it gets easier and more "normal" I can see us finding common interest things to watch again.Interests seem to vary quite frequently too now. One week it might be a certain game, the next a certain series or program etc. Means if something isn't much chop it doesn't get hung onto for long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
