The gamers are having an effect on this. My son (21 years old) spends 40 hours a week with WOW...and I doubt if he watches more than four hours a week of any TV at all.

Yikes. We have the kids at home and ration their video game time in line with the amount of housework they do. I guess when a kids out of the house it's impossible to control.

Honestly, TV for about 50% of the time is garbage. Interactive entertainment is tremendously engrossing and feels rewarding at the same time.

I'm sure your son will have enough WOW soon enough.

That's what I was going to say. All the kids I know ( a lot) talk about playing video games, not watching TV.

WOW is my reaction! I suspect this is not that unusual.
How does he earn a living? Or learn anything usable at college? Sounds like a hard life ahead for him or whomever is supporting him while he plays.
