Yeah, the turntable link seemed forced. I went back up to the end of the article after finishing to see if I missed a paragraph or something.
For me, TV is fine. I've been enjoying GoT episodes on Sunday night for the last few weeks. I don't consider an enjoyable show a time-sink, unless you binge-watch for days on end (that's a rarity for me).
As others have said, my cell phone and a variety of interesting websites {cough, cough ... HN ..cough} take-up MUCH more of my time. I'm definitely considering a break from my smart phone, the habits I've developed seem unhealthy. That being said, I would never use my phone at a urinal!
