я случайно попала в тренд у запойного просматривания сериалов оказываеццо даже есть название: binge watching
Аднака Нью-Йоркер уныло предсказывает смену тренда, and I quote:
In 2013, we bragged to each other that we wasted entire weekends watching “Breaking Bad,” “Game of Thrones,” and Netflix-produced, all-at-once releases like “House of Cards” and “Orange Is the New Black.” But that’s going to change in 2014. Tracy Maxwell-Heath, a media scholar at Columbia who is writing a book about how people who go back and forth between Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime are more likely to try to melt Pristiq on a spoon with a lighter than people who go back and forth between Facebook and their inboxes, foresees a new kind of viewing in 2014. “People will start streaming a show, watch for a few seconds, then turn it off in disgust,” Maxwell-Heath says. “They’ll say to themselves, ‘I get it. I know. There’s going to be bad stuff and surprises and affairs. I’m actually going to care. I’m going to tweet smart opinions. Someone on Facebook will comment, “No spoilers!” and someone else will comment, “LOL, love ya, Kim!” And the show will end, and I will be right back here in this chair. Waiting to die.’ ” Maxwell-Heath admits that, yes, disgust previewers may very well watch anyway. But, she promises, “The disgust preview will always happen first.”

To those who would argue that a computer’s demonstration of humanlike behavior is hardly enough to make it legitimately “conscious,” Turing responds that the same can be said of human behavior: “According to this view the only way to know that a man thinks is to be that particular man,” he wrote.
А кено надо посмотреть, там Хоакин Феникс))
Вообще удивительно, наскоко совершенно посторонний для моей типа реальной жызни Нью-Йоркер оказываеццо ближе и роднее, чем фся российская пресса вместе взятая
