Why in the world would someone choose TV over the net?
Well, most people have been trained to be sheep. They like being sheep, and I don't expect a revolution anytime soon.
In the meantime those of us using and expanding our minds get in on the ground floor of a technology that will transform human society.
Consider yourself privleged.

Agreed. I hardly ever watch tv any more. I usually only watch sports and a select few shows.
