To be with a TV or not to be with a TV?

My grandfather once told me the day he bought a television and brought it to home. I really got excited, while I was listening to him. He said that he was one of the first ones who bought it and before that they were sitting in the living room and listening to music on the radio. My grandmother added that while they were listening to the music, they were able to talk to eachother and to see their faces. However, with the existence of television, they just started to ignore the others excepts the ones who are on the television. They actually start to ignore themselves do, as we are doing now. At home, my family have always something to watch on the TV. It doesn’t matter whether it is a soap opera or a documentary, I know that they are going to prefer to watch it. This is why I sometimes go in front of the TV and tell the thing, which I want to share with them, to break their connection with the TV and to make them to listen to me.
