Thats true, the same can be said for all the other forms of escape I use. I mean, how often are they watching tv in tv? How often does the video game play a video game? Most comically is the SIM games people play, simulating actual life.
Its odd, how when I was doing well in my life and working a few years ago, TV and esepcially the computer had taken a back seat. I'd go days if not weeks without turning it on. Same went for my PS2. There were months between saves. I did cling to some TV shows, but as they ended I rarely replaced them.
Even still I enjoy it. Though less so that my subconscious knows I can be doing more, or living such a life that would make such things less important.

With the effects of late, I think I should read recreational all the time. I have invested so much in personal development, feeding off the ideas for one part of my brain. I have neglected my imagination in senses by the more passive forms.
