But who the heck is anyone to define a 'waste of time'. It's taken me quite some years to convince my partner that a smartphone is considerably less expensive to keep on, rather than the tv. She uses the tv for 'company', even when the whole family is at home. I had to rig her smartphone to some larger speakers to provide a level of bass that seemed realistic to her, so that's that. Technically, she's gone from 10hrs a day with the tv on (watching?), to 10 hrs a day "extra" (watching) on her smartphone. Neither is correct, (and nor is she British). It is however, her time, her life. And it is beyond me to agree, or disagree (with her) that 'the issue is really that doing _anything_ mindlessly is a waste of life'. We are here, we are going to not be.
