    How many people still use TVs these days? Everyone I know don't even own one anymore, though my friends circle might not be that representative of society as a whole.

    I'm curious as to why nobody here has yet to comment on OPs claims about "Hedonic Adaptation". I've been told by various sources that this is the way the brain works, even in my re…
