Wasn't TV viewed in the same light?

I imagine a large segment of humanity has always looked for addictions.

Well most of the population seems to drink coffee and is somehow proud of not being able to quit, so yeah. Addiction is a part of our life, we just have to be careful to not form harmful ones.

TV was viewed in the same light, and a large chunk of the population remains addicted to their TVs to this day.
