When a person walks past a TV/
computer screen and stops mid-stance to stare at whatever is on the screen, instead of continuing on to his
destination. Appears to have been pulled in by the
tractor beam of the screen and is unable to move or think.
I asked my son to go make his lunch for school but he passed the loungeroom on the way and
Scooby Doo was on, and he was caught in the
tractor beam. He was there, frozen solid, for a good ten minutes until I
turned off the TV.
