why?
- it's easy
- it's a great baby sitter
- it's easy
- it distracts
- it's easy
- we learn what's funny
- it's easy
- we learn what's happening out there
- it's easy
- we learn what's pretty, what's fashionable, what's true
- it is easy
A quarter of a life in front of a box...which, I suppose, would be half of a waking life.
