Specifically, TV and computer videogames require you to focus on specific tasks for long amounts of time. If you are playing a precision racer you have to give 100% for 5 minutes or you are crashing your vehicle and exploding the moment you get distracted in the slightest. TV is passive "entertainment". Most people don't turn the TV set on and watch it. They turn it on and have it as background noise while they do something else. It is kind of pathetic but considering most of what hits TV is junk, it does not deserve better. People sucks and is pea brained but if TV and streaming shows were actually good then people would be more likely to pay attention to them over the whole run of each episode. However, Netflix and the like are not attempting to do that. They are designing their shows to be used as background noise and some actors have pretty much declared this on interviews already. They make their shows in such a way that events are explained multiple times so if you stop paying attention for 5 minutes you can jump back in. (BTW I am not counting mobile games as proper games because those are glorified slot machines or glorified idle games) -- gopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalken n --- gSynchronetn Palantir BBS * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL ----------------------------------------------------------- [Voltar]
