I like watching tv to be entertained and lower my stress. But I find myself watching a little too long - then I wind up watching really crappy tv. The only thing worse than really crappy tv, is really crappy tv - late at night - when you should be sleeping. I need a tv that turns off automatically after it's been on for several hours. A message could pop up on the screen that says buffering, initializing, checking for viruses or de-crap-ifying, followed by the time it will turn on again.
Am I too lazy to turn off the tv? Yes. But here's my question: Why do I expend more energy wandering the living room trying to locate the remote, than I would by just walking over to the actual tv and pushing a button. I guess it's because I demand convenience, and I'm going to search and search and search for it until I've found it. I'll be damned if I don't enjoy that convenience with the handy remote rather than actually trekking all the way to the tv and pushing the one button with my spoiled finger.
you aren't the only one...
