I watch a lot of youtube and listen to a lot of music, but something that has intrigued me as I've visited my parents is how the TV is always on, and often on the news.
Dad will be on his ipad, Mom on her phone, with the news, or GMA or Today playing constantly in the background.
As someone that normally spends time in quiet, or with curated content, it's like a culture shock, and somewhat distracting.
@NiveusLepus my parents were the same with the radio always on news and political or public affairs talk shows then the shock jocks started moving onto the air waves. I prefer the quiet too.
@Zevon I have noise cancelling headphones. Praise the Gods!
@NiveusLepus 👏🏼 I'm glad it helps. I live alone so I control the environment. I like to put birdsong on at low volume as my backdrop to the day (and sometimes evenings too) 🐦
