As a kid I always the TV on while doing things. as did my dad, and I still do. (It is on right now next to me.) But it was just for noise and I always am doing something while it is on – cooking, eating, washing up after a meal, going online to read comics, etc.
But the last mentioned is the big difference. Before while watching TV I would be working on my embroidery or reading a magazine, newspaper, or book. (Though I do read the regional newspaper while watching TV after dinner and before going online.) Now I am on my laptop most evenings while watching TV-reading the newspaper and going online to groups such this.

And away back, no TV or Radio, either! And a WAY back, no planes, trains, or automobiles to get ’em around!
