[Hidden-tech] Kicking the cable habit?

[Chris Hoogendyk]

Television? What's that?  ^_^

We go to Captain Video (local business) when we want to rent a DVD, or sometimes to the Amherst 
Cinema (local business) for a movie. We kicked cable before there ever was cable. Never had TV. Kids 
grew up without it. Always had computers, though. And network connections going back to the days of 
dial up on AOL. We're totally happy with not having TV, advertisements, etc. intruding into our lives.

Now, one of my adult daughters uses Netflix online to download TV episodes. The other does not.
