I'm actually waiting for radio to be eliminated, since you can get all your music/talk/sports online as well. Zac…pretty funny!

Not the couch! I'm on the couch right now! In fact, I'm on the couch writing this post while watching the Phillies game! (We're winning! whoo!) In my house (YMMV), there's a TV tuner card on the desktop, so my husband can watch TV while he surfs the net, and my laptop sits on the arm of the sofa so I can surf the net while I watch TV. Heck, a person's gotta have something to do during the 16-18 minutes of advertising per hour. Anyway, my point - watching the TV and surfing the net aren't mutually exclusive, though the study quoted does appear to make them sound that way. It may be a bit early to announce the death of the television station.

I do my work and take a break with the blogger sites. I never use it for TV. I bet the net has more shows and less commercials. YV has gone nuts with commercials. It is killing its viewers.

I watch more shows on the laptop than I do on the TV set...then again, I watch at work where I screw off more than Dagwood Bumstead. Your mileage may vary. I agree with Alan.
