I don't watch TV, only hand-picked movies and series. They do make me feel like less available for social interaction - for example, if I was in the middle of watching an episode and someone called me and said "let's go to the club, right now", I would be kind of hesitant. I would need a few minutes to get back into action-mode. But what I wanna know is if it really affects the brain long-term (not just while you are watching). Cause many things can get us all involved, like writing a blog post that you are struggling to finish, or reading a captivating book, but those things don't represent a health risk, as movies supposedly do.
