Once you needed focus just to watch TV… no tape; no disc; no stream to rewind and play a section over. No internet to review the show on… just your one shot as it played (and perhaps months later a re-run)… I was watching “Empire” and found myself reaching for the remote before I remembered it was playing real time. Back in the day… I would give my complete attention to a show; now I can count on instant replay in some form or another.
