We are social creatures who still sit around the campfire and discuss our shared experiences. What we shared has changed and where and what the campfire is has changed, but that is humanity. We connect over the common events in our lives to the point that we have events that whole generations remember, refer to, and sometimes measure time since.
Right, but a TV show isn't an experience, it's a campfire story. If all you do is sit around the campfire and listen to TV producers tell you stories, you aren't having any experiences at all.
I would say that isn't true. Entertainment be it sports, gladiators, bards, plays, movies, or TV are experiences.
I think you misinterpret what I mean by the campfire. The experience happened (in this case viewing of the TV show) before people sat down and either told what happened or discussed what happened. There is a joy in discussing life and entertainment that has been around a long time.
