I think it becomes a sort of habit of sorts.
Even with children it drives me crazy. There is no need to watch something on tv constantly. There is no need to have a screen flashing something for a day to be complete.

My son doesn't watch tv either - I don't block him from it, he just never got into the habit. I have been around children who scream and throw fits because they want to watch tv right now, NOW!!!! Etc.
My son ends up watching a movie once a week and maybe a total of an hour and a half of recorded television.

The majority of television is really the "empty calories" of entertainment. There are a few shows that I will watch if for some reason the television is on, but the majority of the time I will check the schedule, see nothing that is of interest in any way whatsoever, and then turn it off.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
