@3ivin6 Dette kan jeg kjenne meg igjen i. Når jeg var tenåring tenkte jeg at å holde på med datamaskiner om det var dataspill eller diverse internett-greier alltid var overlegent å titte på tv. Den som tittet på (linjær)tv satt der bare å tok inn det den ble servert. Den som spilte ett dataspill hadde ikke bare valgt det, valgt hva den ville spille, men den gjorde noe aktivt.

I dag er ikke bare tv-apparatene større enn noensinne. Samtidig er linjær-tv dødt og vår tv-konsumsjon ligner på dataspill, ett dataspill der du på overflaten gjør valg, men der den i realiteten er ett linjær-tv-skrømt som trykker innhold ner i kjeften på oss.
