Video games. Alot of people rely on the TV to give them valuable information about the world, like the news or weather. I personally play games more than I watch TV, but TV is alot more important to the world.
Would you rather have a scorpion in your shoes without noticing it then it poke you with it's tail or a cobra in your bag then when you get something you'll get bitten. (Depends if you will have the will to survive... :P)
