Entertainment! Entertainment everywhere!
We're truly living in the miracle age of consuming content. From our telly faves, blockbuster movies and entire series available to stream on demand.
But our smaller screens are also fighting for our attention, with constant pings and notifications from friends and from around the world. We're becoming expert multitaskers.
So how often do you watch your TV screen at the same time as using a second screen (phone/tablet/computer)? Vote in this week's poll and let us know your thoughts on TV and scrolling.
