Be entertained (or entertain someone else).
You're stuck in the airport on a six-hour layover with two unruly kids ... for six hours. If you're fortunate to have a reliable internet connection and a Netflix subscription, then you're most likely the happiest parent around.
And forget about your kids — what about you? How many hours have you dedicated to binge-watching television shows and movies on a rainy Saturday afternoon? More than you'd probably like to admit. In 2014, Netflix users streamed nearly 6.5 BILLION hours of video in the first quarter alone. That's a lot of "House of Cards" and "Orange Is The New Black." From making a long commute bearable to serving as the perfect (secret) distraction in a boring meeting, the internet has become our our default, go-to conduit to streaming and downloadable entertainment.
