As a child, I believed that the people on television were actually miniature people who lived inside my television. I convinced myself that if I waved to them and talked to them, eventually they would wave and talk back. It used to disappoint me to no end that Steve Austin, aka the Six Million Dollar Man, had no interest in talking to me.
Strangely enough, now that I'm older and no longer believe that miniature people live inside my television, I still find that I have a habit of gesturing and talking to the people on my television.
