Thanks for the article from Glenda Hanson
My family is really bad about flipping back and forth from channel to channel while we watch different programs. We use our direct tv arizona and just go to one channel and the next whenever commercials come on. We are really bad about doing that when sports games are on too. We have a handful of sports channels, which makes it easy to go back and forth to see every game. Sometimes it is just changing from one football game to another when multiple games are on TV. Other times, we will watch two or three different sports at the same time, like hockey and basketball. That is the benefit of advertisements during TV. You get to watch a little bit of everything while you are waiting for the ads to end. We do not just do it when we watch sports though. We do it even with different sitcoms or movies that come on. It is probably because we are very impatient, but I like to think of it as multi-tasking and we have certainly gotten to be very good at it. Sometimes it annoys the people that come to the house to watch TV with us, but we really cannot help ourselves.
