What do you watch the most: Your TV or your Computer Screen?
Personally myself, I have just about totally lost interest and boring routine non-income generating television programs, and would much rather watch surf the web. On the web there's just sooo much more to watch. It's virtually impossible to get bored. If I don't like something i can just click away. heck I can click away to the other side of the world if I want to. Can't do that with TV. I can also watch any free movies and TV shows on my computer. A free movie site that good is watch-movies.net and there's a others as well. With television I am limited and it just gets boring especially with all those commercials. Now I'm not saying that TV is out for good for me. But it has definitely been taking a backseat collecting dust.
...So what about you?... is it TV or the Computer that has been winning more of your viewing attention?

You make some key points regarding the computer. Personally, I like both. I know there really isnt a whole lot to watch anymore on tv these days, but there are certain shows that are staples that I enjoy, so I dont get bored too easily and in general, I do get bored easily, lol. I however agree with your point about computers, that there is just so much information out there, the computer being a great source to all that information. I hardly get bored with all to research. I would have to say its both for me. If I didnt have my tv, Id go nuts. Im not like that with my computer though, although one can easily replace the other (unless you have HD lol). Im going to check out that watchmovies.net that you mention. Thanks for the info.

For me it is the computer, first of all I can get up and leave whenever I want, I can schedule things in for when I have time. I also have 6 others that live here and they usually watch the TV and some of their shows Im just not really interested in. There are a very few shows that I like to watch anyways. Another thing is that here I can make some money and with TV, well when they start paying to watch let me know! LOL

I would say computer. Actually I haven't been watching TV for almost half a year. Lont time, isn't it? You are right there, computer is mutual as we can do something we like on it, while comes to TV, what can we do except shifting the remote and wait for the good programms?
The first thing I do after I am home from work, is to turn on my computer and I keep it running even I have nothing to do on it or when I am doing something else that definitely need not a computer. My bf is jeslousy of my laptop. He says that I spend more time with my laptop than I spend with him, lol. And that's true. Then I gotta comfort him by saying how can I communicate with him if without a computer since we are in different cities, heehee.
Right, I can't live without my little laptop!

Hi friend,Same here too.Long back I lost interest in watching TV. I have become addicted to computer that too only with earning online sites.I dont know why suddenly when I earned some dollars, my interest increased to accumulate dollars in my account.I was not interested much in earning before but I am obssessed now with earning online.Mylot is the first site where I earned first time in my life.TV programmes and serials are boring and feel its waste of time.My hub and children only watch TV at home and I spend most of my time online.
thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

It my computer, i never get boared of using internet. I usually keep on mylotting and there are some few other site where i post if i get boared with this then i play online games watch online movies.. this List does not end. But Television is more expensive to watch here in my country, and you have to follow tv's timing. On comouter you can watch anything anytime which is of your interest. I am sometimes using computer for more than 12 hours a day without a break. you can say that i am addicted to it.

I agree with you. I too have a slow pc but still love it. Ive been wanting my own pc for a very long time and now that I have it, just love it. There are also a lot of shows I enjoy on tv also (not reality junkie tho lol), but I know if my tv is ever on the fritz, my pc can be a good backup. Ive already watched some of my favorite shows on the computer..pretty cool lol.

Oh, I'm complicated. I sit in front of the television with my laptop. I compute, listen and watch 'at' the television. If it is something really interesting where I don't want to miss anything, I put the laptop down. But I couldn't do without the television since I love Fox News and Hallmark channel.

Well I mostly stay on the computer and not on the TV cause, on a computer I can download the free movies and watch them whenever I want to but I can't really do that on a TV. But i do like the quality of picture they have on TV and there you don't have to wait for the movie to load. Both computer and TV has it's own features. But I do mostly stay on the computer as you can do whatever you want on it and can even surf the internet and talk to people.

I think the problem with TV is it has too much commercials. I watch TV less when my computer had internet access.But TV can't be discarded.I'm a sports fan,when there is a LIVE broadcast of a soccer match,or NBA, TV is the best choice.But if you want to listen to some music,watch some movies,computer is better,because net resourses are way abundant than TV.

I always keep the television on in the background while I am surfing the web. As for the commercials I have Tivo so I can skip through them pretty quickly. I do spend a lot of time online, mostly because I have issues with just sitting without something to do with my hands.
