We don’t have cable and we generally sit down as a family to watch things on TV, which may be broadcast, streamed or a disc but it generally has to be something as least a few people are interested in watching.
The result is that my kids have at least a passing exposure to media not designed specifically for their demographic. My teenagers are just starting to realize how little their friends have been exposed to.

My uncle used to take his awesome antique gun collection to schools in Ohio and give an all day lecture to multiple classes explaining the importance of each innovation and how it impacted war, politics, culture, etc. You couldn’t even bring a gun into schools today. Teachers would hold a cross up (or, today it would be a go-green sticker) to ward off your evil. I’ll explain anything a kid will listen to just to give them exposure to stuff they haven’t seen. When their eyes glaze, I stop.
