It kind of reminds me in a way of Orwell’s “1984” where people left work and immediately went back to their flat. To watch their Telescreen.

You're remembering Orwell incorrectly.

Aside from strictly regimented 15-minute exercise programs in the morning and endless, boring propaganda broadcasts about the latest "victories" on distant fronts that may have been totally faked, the telescreens provided no engaging "entertainment" - nothing that people with a shred of individuality, insight, or humanity would watch unless they were forced.

The main function of the telescreens was not to be watched, but rather to monitor the populace.

Remember the old Yakov Smirnoff joke, “In Russia, Television Watches You”.

It ain’t just Russia, anymore.

Well, I didn’t forget that they had to engage in state sponsored activity, I just didn’t really count that as anything other than being at work!
