Laying on the sofa watching series

Watching series has become an ordinary activity shared by all social groups in the modern society. Poor and rich people alike all share the same hobbies. There is little difference in their cultural backgrounds. I imagine that, a few decades ago, wealthy members of society used to have different occupations from poorer ones. Beware, I don’t mean that I would want to go back to the past and have the poor illiterate and living in terrible conditions. What I mean by that is, for instance, the rich would read lots of books - got to the theatre, the opera, and open their minds. Whereas the destitute would hardly ever read, if they could read at all!
