There's a pretty radical difference between the statements "I don't have cable" and "I don't even own a TV". I know lots of people who spend an immensely unhealthy amount of time in front of TVs (even me from time to time, not judging), and few of them have a cable subscription. | |||||||||||||||||

Over 60% uses Twitter in Japan, behind only to LINE and YouTube. Also comparable if English was not language of business. | |||||||||||||||||
