I consider myself as Naruto's mother. So I'm probably more around your age than your son's. I was brought up with TV so it has lost all of the "new and excited" it had when it came out. Digital and HD is only incremental and rather insignificant improvements in my view. I gradually discovered that I didn't turn it on any more. I simply preferred to read and stimulate my imagination rather than absorbing a predetermined diet. I wasn't like that at all when I read p-books, it is all because of e-books. That is what surprises me. The ease of access is, I believe, the determining factor. If bored, rather than turn on the tube, I will turn on the Kindle and if I don't have anything enticing on it it is just as enticing to use it for shopping in Amazon's Kindle Store.
