- We watch out of habit. The TV is always on. We turn the thing on first thing in the morning and it stays on until we turn out the lights. Most evenings, we fall asleep to it, and it turns itself off.
- It is pervasive. I am amazed at how many conversations are about what we watch, even if we haven't watched anything in days.
- We are careful about what we watch and what we let our children see, but I'm not completely anti-television. However, TV Free Week reminds me how we passively allow it to fill up all the white space in our lives.
