I would LOVE to see a “Reality Show” where a group of teenagers try to go ONE WEEK without their Phones, Tablets, Computers, or ANY Electronic Devices. I bet NONE OF THEM could do it.
These days I spend a lot of time reading books on my Chromebook while casting classical music from YouTube on my phone to my TV. Same lifelong habits; only the technology has changed. :-)
It was my mom who would listen to the radio while watching TV, and my grandmother from my dad’s side who got upset at me for channel surfing rather than searching for a show in the TV listing first.
When I was a kid, if a show got “too slow” for more than a couple episodes I quit watching it. Today, I don’t even watch Television. Last time I had it on was for the flood emergency in 2011 in our area.

Better that he needs a diversion from the program than a diversion program, Pam.

When I was his age it was a book when things got slow.

I read comics online as a diversion from the news.

I watch videos on my iPad WHILE I’m watching television.
It keeps my ADD in check.

What’s the problem, he’s multitasking.

It seems to me that TV stopped being a “diversion” for most people a long time ago…

I bet he has it tuned to “Short Attention Span Theatre”.

Littler Diversions have Lesser Diversions, and Lesser Diversions have Tiny Diversions …
And so, ad infinitum.
