I havent really watched proper television in years. Not since I was a young teenager. I cannot tell you what sitcoms have been playing for the last few years because I have no clue. I dont even know the latest artists in music, etc, as I havent listened to a radio in years either (apart from the occassional ride in someones car). The only thing I have seen occassionaly are cartoons and some MTV (for zone out sessions), but its been very rare. I sometimes read Entertainment news online, which keeps me a little updated, but not much.
I am planning on never purchasing a TV, because I wont ever use it. I prefer online or friends for news, and to relax I do other things.
So, do you think you could live without television? How long can you go without watching TV? Is it important to have a television? Do you think it makes one “out of touch with reality” by not having one?
I have friends that also dont ever watch TV, and dont own one either, so I am not alone in this.
Maybe if ur tv and internet was taken away from you u would realise how much more u could do Mahru :D I think its cos of tv that we fail to explore other options of keeping ourselves occupied. The more u rely on it for entertainment and passing ur day the more u need it.
I dont watch television much. My one & only reason to watch it is in the morning when I am getting ready to go to work & watch (Euro) News to get myself a bit updated about the world around me.
I think I can easily live without a television, but Internet is a must.
what i think is ...Tv is just a wastage of time for a society lik ours.....we ppl might not get that research sort of benefits that other nations are doing .....We just consider Tv ...a source of entertainment ....
Mostly what i hav noticed ...that those homes where u find Tv ...most of the ppl there waste a lot tim ....
if that tv is not there they might produce som beter way to pas the in other healthy activity ......u may interect ..talk with relatives ALA BLA lik that .....
life without tv is gud! there's so much to do and explore in life.
am planning to get rid of da tv in da near future cuz rite now my husband and my son are against it :D
i grew up without a tv till i was in my late teens... even da prime minister of singapore admitted he doesnt a have a tv at home... bad influence on kids he said.
I did not have a TV by choice for almost 3 years and at first I missed it and then I got used to not having it. But its all about self control folks, television has tons of good programming, you can learn more, keep up with things that interest you, news, interesting shows..hey non one thinks les of you if u are an avid follower of some show, entertainment is part of life and Tv is but one medium...or you can be a zombie and watch real world and other lame reality shows.
