Curious. I can have music on as background and pay attention to a foreground task. I can't do that with TV.
Voices demand my foreground attention. It drove me nuts at a former employer when a colleague in the next cubicle insisted on having all of his conversations, personal or business, on a speaker phone to leave both hands free. I really wasn't interested and didn't want to know.
