Absolutely, but who's making it a contest?

I never liked television, even when I was young. I'm not saying I haven't got into certain shows over the years, but it's been a long while. I couldn't even tell you what's popular now. I don't like the process of watching television and I hate the noise. That's me, but I'll admit when I see people say they have no time to read, I think of all the screen time they probably put in and think they could find some time if they wanted. As you implied, it's about priorities and inclination. In the evening, I'd always rather read.
