This note is from a conversation with my friend Saira. I'm reposting it here because I thought that others would find the idea interesting:
Check this out: one of my volunteers is in comp sci here, and was telling me that a prof he has in some evolution-type biology course was making a claim that "couch potato" (ie. TV or computer monitor) is a behaviour pattern modelled after early human behaviour that found certain individuals maintaining their gene lines by keeping out of danger (by having others hunt/gather) and remaining by the fire... The monitor/tv flickering is paralleled with the flames/fire.
