The crucial factor is the passiveness or lack of thinking about that activity. Blogging is not a passive activity. There is sdope for creation, interaction, debates, etc. Watching 2/3 serials without any intention to make a serial of ones' own is one example of passiveness. @ram c

Certain leisure activities which are passionate ones for someone may be a 'waste of time' affair for others.. For us blogging may be leisure time activity..

This piece does not address them. it actually enocurages them. but passive viewers see TV not to learn but to kill time. @suman

A kid listening to Beethoven or Ilayaraja or Rehman or Yanni could draw inspiration to become one tomorrow. A person watching sports on the Television might be inspired to become another Tendulkar. And many more things. It depends on the person sitting and watching the program. If the person is a lazy bum, just wants to feel good like being on a dope, then it is an additcion and a passive process. But there are many I think who get motivated to create innovatively by watching the existing.
