Not sure. I remember back when it was semi-new e-books were a thing for sure, and you could download digital albums with those credits too. Maybe being able to rent stuff with it is a bit newer?

 Ac> Yeah definitely. We basically watch TV as a last resort when we wind

We kind of do the opposite. We watch 1 episode of one longer form show every night with dinner. We don't usually watch more than that unless we're just not really in the mood to do much else besides veg out, or if the show we're watching is really good and we want to keep watching more.

 Ac> Oh same, for sure. My parents watched shit like Wheel of Fortune and
 Ac> Married with Children (and probably other's I'm forgetting) like it was
 Ac> religion. I was the one who had to get up and change the dials on the TV
 Ac> to whatever they wanted to watch. I basically got an hour or two after
 Ac> school and Saturday/Sunday mornings. Then again, they made me go outside
 Ac> and not come home till the street lights came on too. ;)

Yeah, I was thinking as I re-read that about wasting their lives away "shit, I should say the same thing about myself for playing video games or whatever. In fact, our parents DID used to give us tons of shit about that when we were kids." :P
