Gin, Television, and Social Surplus - Here Comes Everybody
This struck a chord because we don’t have a TV. And people are always asking me how much I sleep per night, given all the extracurriculars. The answer is: 7-8 hours, depending. 10 on weekends, 6 when shizz is going down. There really is a cognitive surplus in the world, we just don’t think about it in the terms that Shirky does here. Caveats: we do watch TV on occasion on Hulu, and we watch a lot of movies. But these acts are very intentional. Also, there is some DAMN good TV out there, no question about it.
