Yeah most of the stuff on TV is trash anyway. I don’t watch much, but I could still not do without a tv. Problem is, even though I don’t watch much tv, I’m instead addicted to junk on the internet.

Great article, I find myself being hooked to the TV. When I lived alone at university I found that even if I was not watching a program I needed to have the TV on in the background to fill the room with something and even now it consumes so much of my time. Being inspired by your article I will plan a TV free weekend.

I am not
someone who watches a lot of TV because it makes me not move a lot. I am
very aware that being a couch potato is not healthy for the body. this article is inspiring and very
helpful.

I don’t watch TV that much, because i feel bored, not unless it has some show which I am really interested about, but will not sit there entirely. I want to do more actions, than just sit there and stare at that square blinking thing.

I have kids, and tv is a brain killer. You can see the difference in them when the television is off. They listen, they respond and you don’t have to raise your voice to get their attention. It’s amazing, when that television is on, no matter how many times they have seen the program, their eyes are glued. Their brain is shut out to the surroundings around them, and then when you ask them what just happened, or why something happened, they say, “i don’t know.” If I have to ask them to do something, I don’t even get a response. When that happens, I shut the television off, they get mad, but you know what happens next, they move on to be creative. They play with dolls and they play with cars and trucks. they put their bodies in motion. They are alive. It’s the same thing with adults. If you get rid of the television, it’s amazing how much you get done. It’s amazing how much you can learn.

Very interesting post, that. I also subscribe to a similar undertanding about TV (and the internet too, for that matter). Though they can be wonderfully educational (at the moment I am marvelling at some of the documentaries showcasing the splendour of the universe), they can also be ridiculously distracting.

Good luck with the Non-TV stance- stay strong against the wishes of your house-mates!
