TVs in public places.

It seems like more and more public places are getting TVs these days. I have heard of gas stations that have TVs at the gas pumps. TVs are popping up everywhere. Waiting rooms, restaurants, stores, malls, hair salons, gas pumps, elevators, and even public restrooms.

Do you think having TVs at gas pumps is a bit ridiculous? Do people really need to be watching TV while they pump their gas?

The TVs on the pumps are most likely there for advertising or promotional purposes. While TVs are becoming less expensive than they used to be, they aren’t as important as they were due to the advent of smartphones.
