" There&amp;#039;s no denying\u00A0Netflix totally changed the television game. Now\u00A0binge-watching popular shows is\u00A0easier\u00A0than ever\u00A0and the fail-proof conversation starter of &amp;quot;So ... what are you watching these days?&amp;quot; is even more\u00A0reliable. But despite\u00A0the population&amp;#039;s\u00A0pop culture trivia\u00A0being at its peak, the streaming service might not result\u00A0in\u00A0the most well-balanced of\u00A0lives. According to Reed Hastings, Netflix&amp;#039;s CEO, the average\u00A0subscriber watches shows or movies on the service for one hour and 40 minutes every day \u2014 which is more time than most people spend reading, exercising, and socializing with friends combined, based on research from\u00A0Cord Cutting. They pulled\u00A0data from the Bureau\u00A0of Labor Statistics&amp;#039; American Time Use survey, which says Americans spend\u00A038 minutes a day &amp;quot;socializing and communicating,&amp;quot; 19 minutes &amp;quot;reading,&amp;quot; and 17 minutes &amp;quot;participating in sports and exercising.&amp;quot; If Netflix never existed would we all be\u00A0super ripped and well read? Probably not. But it is important to think about the time spent in front of that lit-up box in your living room. Maybe tonight limit yourself to just\u00A0one episode of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
