In the olden days, when I was a young ‘un, I read a lot of science fiction; I particularly favored Asimov and Heinlein (Heinlein was rather a jerk, but he was a good writer).

I remember reading a story, written in the 1950s or 1960s, in which the writer envisioned a world like that described by Badtux, in which persons remained in their rooms glued to their television sets (it was long before personal computers were a thing, or even an idea).
But I can’t for the life of me remember who wrote it.
