TV addiction
1 The amount of time people spend watching television is
astonishing. On average, individuals in the industrialized
world devote three hours a day to the pursuit, fully half of
their leisure time, and more than on any single activity save
5 work and sleep. Someone who lives to 75 would spend nine
years in front of the tube. To some commentators, this
devotion means simply that people enjoy TV and make a
conscious decision to watch it. But if that is the whole story,
why do so many people experience misgivings about how
10 much they view?
