Fr. John Hardon urged retreatants on his last Marian Catechist Retreat, "If you make one resolution from this retreat, let it be to live in the world." He went on to say that millions of people are living in a dream world. With TV it was bad enough, but with all the social networking technologies, virtual reality shows, etc. the problem is getting worse and worse. Here's one graphic example...a couple who let their real child starve to death while they nurtured a virtual child at an internet cafe.
The Catholic faith promotes moderation in all things. consider that when you're sitting in front of the TV, at the computer on Facebook, or logging on to World of Warcraft.
