I like how people say they don't watch TV these days and think this fact makes them more worthy or something - especially when they spend their times on games or browsing the Internet, which are like, the same thing now television used to be for decades.

Not that I'm trying to be an elitist there, I just think television is pretty much an obsolete medium now, that's why younger generations don't care much about it, but not really because they're wiser.

I don't think anyone was saying it to be "Wiser." We probably will all agree that the reason we don't watch much TV these days is because there isn't a whole lot that that appeals to us.

Ugh. I think that the younger generations are at risk of going backward a bit judging by what I see on Youtube at times.

Then again we're all idiots here. Some are just smarter than others.

But yeah, not many people need to rely on TV any more. Kids can sit on the laptop and watch cartoons on Youtube in the car on their way to school. Play educational games at the age of 3 in a form of an interactive story series. And in a way you can control what they see from a young age.

I'm sure television will stick around though... for how long, god knows, but it's got some life left in it yet. It still provides comfort to me when I'm about to brake down crying over whatever it is that has my panties in a bunch for that week.

I like how all you do at this point is try (and fail) to be funny and/or sound intelligent by attempting to prove people wrong, or shoving words into their mouth. What happened? No one gave a sh*t about you when you sat there like a good boy, so now you've got to try and stir the pot to get noticed?

No one said anything about being more "worthy" or being "wiser". I guess we should all just go along with what you say, though. You do seem to have all the answers.

Why are people acting like television is some kind of dinosaur now??

Remember that old timey thing they used have? I think they called it radio? Remember when that TV doohicky came out and everyone could get their news and entertainment on it instead of radio? Gee golly do I wish that machine was still around.

I got that slight vibe of elitism from Spitfire's post:

... so that just inspired me to state what I did, since I hear such things from people on everyday basis. That's all, I didn't even try to sound humorous or smart.

Or maybe I'm saying it because I in fact don't watch TV. Nor do I care if anyone else does.

Or I spend my time being social, creating, and having sex with girls.

Well your right. The younger generation is so over stimulated the TV is worthless to them. The Youtube point is a great one. People are more interested in reality now for some reason when that fad goes away TV might make a come back. Even reality shows are super fake.

That doesn't make it sound like you're trying to compensate for something at all, pal.

Do you pop your collar?

Only around people like yourself because I'm so insecure I must convince people on a message board I'm someone I'm not. The opinions of people on the internet matter so much to me.

Ha ha. That old shtick again?

Listen, when you're taking poorly veiled shots at people by using the old "I have sex with girls." line, you've got to take what people throw at you. Implying you have sex as much as some other "loser" watches TV or hangs out on the internet may be slightly asinine.

I have sex with girls AND I watch TV. Does that mean I can go back in time?

Ok, I've done the video game thing, but never while eating.

You're taking this to a WHOLE NOTHA LEVEL.
