I consider engaging with media to be interacting with the world.

Passively Watching TV all day = no interaction

Writing an essay about the tv you watch = interacting. Or even just talking about it with someone.

I think what im trying to criticize is passive consumption. If you exert agency or creativity in what you do, than it isn't passive anymore.

Thinking about the TV you watch but not writing an essay about it = interaction or no interaction?

Where is the boundary; how can you define it?

Life isn't binary but full of shades of grey. There are no hard lines.
