I didn't use the internet as much as I have since signing up to this place. I seem to have developed a kind of dependency on it. No longer does TV keep my hold as much as it did. The same interactivity isn't there. I've found I have become more fidgety, thank God for 'now and next' banners to play with on digital TV. It doesn't feel right, not to write down my thoughts on the programme I'm watching. I even text to my girlfriend, whose sat next to me, to give my latest opinion on what we've just seen. TV is too passive. That's why I play video games.
It's leaked into other places too. When I'm on the toilet, I repeatedly flush the handle, just to get some feedback. When using the microwave, I don't just set the standard timer, I use the advanced menu, just to warm some baked beans. And on the bus yesterday, I made the driver stop of at every bus stop, because I wanted to press the button and hear the "ding".
Anyone else suffering from this lack of interactivity?
