City life father and daughter hong kong photos watch tvDo you watch TV while having dinner? Well, HK people often do; TV goes well with rice as some jokingly say. I took this photo last night with my cellphone at a self-service restaurant. I was surprised to see that they have installed some small TVs on the tables. Maybe because more people are eating alone these days? But what a pity. Wouldn’t it be nice if this father and daughter could share some quality time chatting instead?
Aaargh! Whatever next?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time spent in front of screens these days…and not enough on pure conversation…tv was ALWAYS off when I was a kid and at the dinner table…we’re quickly becoming one “unplugged” society I’m afraid! =( Nice shot tho! Like the coloration!

September 28th, 2006, at 9:14 pm #HI all, thanks for the different views…it really depends on how you look at it but as far as I know, HK kids really do spend too much time on watching TV, my nephews included.
September 28th, 2006, at 9:55 pm #Although I agree with you completely, I we too turn the TV on at dinner time most days. I remember when the recession started in Japan in the early 90’s, there was a TV programme telling kids what to talk about during dinner when Dad was home. For about 20-30 years leading to that, dads usually didn’t make it home until much, much later.

September 29th, 2006, at 7:04 am #oh yes, tv is always on during our dinner too. bad huh!!
