how would be your life without a TV?

hi,days are there when some of our older generation had no television or pc or internet , they didnt even had radio or transistors whatever,they got every information from people.Nowadays we get information from media which is from tv or means of communications.so nowdays we cant go without them.too much towards them is wasting time however there are much valuable things we learn from them.

Well, I think there is no problem with me. Because when I was born there is no TV yet in our place. But simply much better to have TV because we see many things like; news and other program that we can learn something

While there is a tv in my room, I have only turned it on one time and that was because there was a football game from my alma mater. I have been in this room since Jan 26 and I just don't watch tv. I am on the computer all the time. I used to be addicted to the "boob tube" as my dad called it, but then I started going to school and lost interest in it. I'm not interested in most of the garbage that is on it so why bother.

Life without a tv is just as it is now. I really dont find the television very interesting. i usually spend all my day on the internet or studying. Or maybe i go out and hang with some friends. Some people might feel that I am weird but the only time you might find me watching tv is if someone ask me to watch a movie with them or something of the sort. but otherwise from that you will never see me take up the remote to watch tv. Well that is me though and i dont know what so many people find interesting in that box. Well I am still young but tv is still just not my thing, the internet is.

I don't watch TV from last years. I do live in hostel and when i go back home then i do watch TV. But i am completely fine without watch TV.As i couldn't watch TV that's why i can save my time. And i can read well. And when i feel boring then i just find any TV shows to internet and watch them. Now a days every TV program we can get in online so it's doesn't bother that we don't watch TV or don't have any TV to house. Have a good time!

Well I usually dont watch unless my boy is wacthinq his cartoons shows. But me I dont watch it that often is either am cleaninq my house or lookinq after my little one not to qet into thinqs that he can qet hurt with. But I was pretty much raised a little different if we didnt had our room clean or our chorce done we couldnt qo outside or tv or qet on the pc.so I qot used to it and I continued to do it that way too..... Blessinqs to you :)

Hi dainy! I used to watch alot more tv than I do now. I pretty much don't watch much at all. I am usually online here or doing something on the computer. I will watch sometimes late at night to relax. I just don't enjoy the shows on right now as much as I used to. And if I do watch I like to watch stuff that makes me laugh!

I never watch TV. Last time I regularly watched TV was about 12 years ago when I still lived at my parents home. Today, I have 1 TV, which is unplugged, and sitting next to the window. I have yet to plug it in, or turn it on since I moved into my home 7 years ago. I have not missed it. Most of what is on TV is junk. Even what is simi-worth watching, is so cluttered with commercials, that it's not worth it. So... no TV for me.

Hi Dainy, I can very well express the experience. For the last 2 months, I didn't renew the TV subscription as the exams are going on and children are at home. The main advantage is that if the TV is not functional, I think we will get enough time for all other things. We can do all works so beautifully and nicely taking adequate time. If we don't have any plans, I think it is really a killer time and all other work will do to 'just finish only'. However, we need a TV at home at any point of time. Only thing, we should be strict on what and when we should spend time for it. As we know, we have all 365 days and 24 hrs programs through out the day. As this is a fact, we need to priorities and take wise decisions. Also, it is not just an idiot box, because, there are are so much of useful and highly informative programs. TV become idiot intelligent only when we synchronize the programs only. I say one best example that recently the tsunami and earthquake happened in Japan and I was really missed all the news. Really, I prayed if I had the TV connection and I immediately recharged the connection within an hours time. So, it is important and we require a TV but all depend on how we utilise them. As you said, if someone comes at home, they will really get irritated if the people are sitting around the TV. Only what we do is we should learn the basic things with regard to life and TV usage. Thank-s

I rarely watch television. Because of my work, I rarely watch television. And this does not affect me, because I've used to watch television.

Hi dainy! My life is no longer influenced by the TV It has been so many years that I am not watching TV anymore. I remember our pastor in the church call it "one-eyed monster". Back home in the Philippines, I had the TV removed in the sitting room. Anyone who would like to watch TV should do it in their bedrooms, especially that most of the TV shows in my country are junkies. I believe that I have more worthy things to do rather than sit in front of the TV. Cheers!

Well,in the past years I become more and more interested in my PC and I began to spend less time watching TV;right know as I'm typing my TV is open,but I don't watch it,I just listen to it like a radio without paying too much attention.Anyway,the TV is no longer indispensable,I can live without it,but I still need it sometimes to watch soccer matches.Anyway,I'm sure that in a short time classical TV sets will disappear,they will probaby be integrated in PCs or other gadgets,so pretty soon we'll only see these devices in museums.

When I was a child the TV did not broadcast 24 hours here in Italy. There were only 2 channels that started broadcasting in the afternoon and ended at midnight. Only on Monday you could see 1 film and children's programs were very few. So I rarely watched TV but when I could see a movie or a cartoon I was really happy and hypnotized in front of it. Now, when I turn on the TV, makes me sick to see how many programs you can choose, at any time of day and night, but rarely I'm very interested in one of them, and after some zapping I turn it off (and turn on PC obviously)

That is actually one of my regrets as being a kid. I would watch atleast 3 hours of TV a day. If I didn't watch TV back then I would have probably taken up a hobby, or worked on a skill. I don't watch TV that much anymore and I find myself happier, and generally more awake to things. My grandpa referred to it as an idiot box too, and the remote was the idiot stick.

I would be very very happy!! Though I grew up with a TV in the house and no one has ever stopped me from watching, I've always been picky about what I watch. Now that I am married and have my own kids, I don't watch television regularly....and neither did my older son till his little brother came along. It feels like....6 years my older son didn't know of the existence of the 'idiot box' and now he can't get enough of it!! My mom's partly to be blamed...she got him started on all the shows she would watch when I went home to have my second baby....and 4 years later, I'm still trying to get both of them off it :( If the TV isn't switched on in the morning, things are fine...but once it is...it's never switched off!

dear dainy, due to some circumtances, My family and I have to move to another island, we have live here without a TV, but what I missed most is my PC..:(( Hope we will be able to have some money a buy a laptop here ( with WIFI ) . Life without TV = nothing happened!! Life without PC = suck..T_T

Hi Daniy. TV who needs it like your father says it is an idot box. With all the stupid shows they have on it not worth watching at all. I was raised not watching TV we didn't even own a TV or a radio. Mom said it was of the devil so she wouldn't have one in the house. So I can do without TV. The only time we usually turn on the TV is when the news is on. We watch the news waiting for signs of the times of the LORDS coming. It will be all over the news when the anti christ comes so that is the main reason we watch the news. Don't want to do without the computer that is how we get to listen our teacher of Gods word.

in a way i would miss it as i like to have someone in the background when i am doing housework, on the computer, cooking. i rarely listen to the radio and for some reason i dont even listen to my cd's anymore as i dont have a cd player

I'd probably sleep more, be more careful with my friends, and generally better ... but I loves me the box!

I am lost without my TV. When my husband and I go to see the grandkids in another state, we aren't allowed to watch TV. I understand that the kids parents aren't ok with that and I respect that, but I am lost without my news and sports. I have to say, it gives us great catch up time with the kids, we read and play games and color etc. I know if we turn the TV on, the kids stare at it and can't hear you talk to them, they show no interest in anything else. But I think that is because they don't ever see it. Where my kids just go about their business whether it is on or not. We really don't sit and watch TV all the time. I start my day by turning on the news and listening to it while I get ready for my day. Sometimes it is on in my house and no one is watching it, but especially when I am home alone, I like the company. Even if I'm not in the same room. I do agree we watch too much and the role models aren't that great but me without my news and sports is not a pretty site.
