Why is "binge" consumption applied to TV and video games but not novels? Technophobia. While balance is important, there's nothing wrong with disrupting the traditional TV business model that doles out weekly episodes, manipulating you with cliffhangers, and deciding for yourself how much you want to consume and when in the narrative it makes sense for YOUR brain to stop. If you find you're losing too much time having fun like this, you can always set a timer. This is NOT pathology. This is the development of self-regulation.
