Samsung Electronics Australia has released new research indicating that advancing technology renders televisions an increasingly central part of Australians’ lives. According to the study conducted by Pureprofile, televisions now play a significant role in stress relief and have even given rise to the phenomenon of ‘TV envy’.
The study surveyed a broad Australian demographic and found that 60% admitted to rearranging their furniture to avoid glare while watching TV. This reflects the impact of Australia’s sunny climate on viewing habits. Furthermore, 46% of Australians reported that they cannot go a day without watching TV, and 55% rely on their televisions to unwind after a day’s work. These statistics underline the integral role that televisions play in contemporary Australian life.
