Eter, 45, cook
“I have my TV on all day long, it is like a habit. I might not be watching it at all, but as soon as I come home from work I turn it on and it stays on all evening, while I am doing other things. My TV is on all day.”
Maka, accountant, 24
“I don’t watch TV, instead I spend all my time sitting at the computer. I think you can find a lot more information on the internet than on TV, and also I can choose what I want to watch or read on the internet, unlike the TV.”
