I would honestly prefer to unplug. And let go for a few hours. I’m also perfectly content to vacation with no TV. Too much of life is online right now. Let’s Bank some offline time.
That's all well and good for those people like you and me. I cherish my disconnected flight time. My wife, however, is not one of us. Her work load makes connectivity necessary. So let's not be too judgmental. But, if somebody wants to surf the web over a slow internet GoGo connection, more power to them. Hopefully it keeps them occupied and quiet. That said, I hope they never allow cell phone usage on planes. That'll be terrible, in my very biased opinion.
