Channel surfing is a cultural practice that has almost vanished, well it has for me at least. Like many people I no longer have a television that makes this activity possible, my television does not get channels, not really. I have a few streaming services, probably too many, and a Blu ray player. Yes it is possible for me to scour these services looking for something to watch. I cannot scroll absentmindedly through different channels, moving from movie, to rerun, to news broadcast, to nature channel, watching all of these disparate activities and events fill the same screen. At least I cannot do that at home, whenever I am in a hotel I indulge in this disappearing cultural practice.
