That's a nice hypothesis. I don't know if it's true, but I vividly remember talking about last evening's TV movie in the school courtyard, or in the locker room before PE (I guess because there you had a lot of "involuntary social time" to fill), and how big of a factor of socializing that was. Being long out of school when streaming on the Internet became big, I always wondered what replaced that piece of commonality.
