Today, my parents told me off for reading, as opposed to watching TV like the rest of the family, because it was "anti-social". FML

Sigh. This is what's wrong with this culture. Read on, OP! Your superior intellect and vocabulary will pay dividends.

Lol, my first thought was, "Sounds like something from Matilda." Looks like we're all on the same page, or movie here. Haha.

Unfortunately, that's probably not true. It's likeability and connections that pay off nowadays. Not talet, intelligence and vocabulary.

My aunt has accused me of this before as well. And doesn't understand why I spend so much money on books instead of just watching tv. Some people don't know how to appreciate a good book.

Watching TV is anti-social if you watch it alone

Watching television is also anti-social if you only talk during commercial breaks.

Tell them they're right and ask for $20. Then go read somewhere else.

I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots. Einstein ?
