Some of the viewing is logged under ‘social science research’ rather than ‘entertainment’ or ‘educational’ activities. You will not be surprised to be reminded that I still have no television cable service.”

J “You may cut the cord, but we all are tethered by the signal. If I could do it, I would do away with the Internet entirely including all the positive avenues and opportunities it has created. Eliminate. The. Internet. Period.”
