Destination Procrastination

I watch t.v and more than likely you watch t.v. Its a concept that many utilize but few truly understand.

Nowadays streamimg services have taken over and actual t.v. is obsolete. Just recently I got Netflix and for many thats a crazy idea and thats exactly what I'm talking about.

I watch T.V and I watch it because its entertaining and it transports me to places I could never visit on my own. In many ways its just like reading, but everythings there the only thing required is your attention.

Back to Netflix, on Netflix like so many others I binge watch programs, the most recent of these is Once Upon A Time. In this show fairytales come to life in never before seen ways, and the overall effect is...magical. Its programs like this that capture the attention of audiences, the ones were magic happens but not in the literal sense. Magic happens when the audience is entirely emersed in the lifes of fictional characters.  In many ways this leads to us as a whole feeling more strongly attached to fictional characters, than scientific breakthroughs. We believe that because we have the shows readily at our fingure tips that it more directly effects us thus we pay more attiention to the emmys than to the Nobel Awards, because to many science doesn't effect them, but the death of a character does. That is why I along with countless others am on the train with one destination, procrastination. Where the only other thing is t.v and the entertainment it provides.
