Before the Computer Age, Television is very much popular and people spend much of their time watching TV. Now, many people could live without a TV in their as long as there's a PC, especially if it has an internet connection. TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERS.. HMMMM ..HHMMM..HHMMM..

Not everybody has a pc in their house but TV, they do have,even the poorest family, I guess?.I think if we're talking of how much time do people spend between TV & PC,my answer is still TV. Without internet connection people can spend their spare time watching TV.

That's funny! I find I spend the most time on the computer.
I do have the tv on on the backgound most of the time though. If I had to do without one of them. It would be the TV however. The computer keeps me entertained.

I think people spend more time on the computer. Many jobs have computers involved in them. People use the internet to keep in touch with people, to find news, as well as do research. Plus, now you can get most tv shows on the net, so really you get obth with the ocmputer.

I can only speak from experience and all I can say is that I spend a lot of time on the computer but stop what I am doing when my favorite tv program comes on. Then I spend maybe 2 or 3 hours watching before going back to the computer and the Internet.

I'd say it really depends on the person. Some people spend a lot of time watching tv, others a lot of time with the computer. They are both something popular to do. I also know people who turn the tv on and sit at the computer and do both at the same time. I enjoy the internet more when its high speed, dial up is such a PITA.

I have not had a television for the past few years. I was watching less and less and using the computer more and more. I don't miss television and I don't watch TV shows on the internet.
I do listen to radio over the internet and I enjoy that much more than watching television.

honestly, i spend more time in front of a computer. why, it has a wide range of choices compared to televisions where there is a limited number f channels. you can also get a lot of information through a computer. a computer also has lots of features. you can play games, write letters, watch movies, listen to music, etc. and nowadays, you can also watch your favorite television shows with a computer.

I think people probably spend more time on the computer. I mean look at how much we use them and depend on them. So many people use them at work and then come home and use their computers at home. So i think quite easily people use a computer a whole lot more then they do the television.

I'm not a tv addicts because when I am still studying we have a limited time to watch tv. I think it carry on until now that I'm working already. I've only watched tv when I like the movie or tv programs. I'm into computer mostly for about 20hours per day. Its my job and my hobby also.
