My cultural anthropology professor used to study remote villages in Nepal. Once he told the class a story about this one village where a group of people used to socialize each night, with each family taking turns hosting dinner at their home.

Then one family got a TV, and they stopped rotating because everyone wanted to spend the evening watching TV at that one family's house.

Then the other families got TVs, and they stopped the socializing tradition altogether, preferring to watch TV at home.
