Who has time for TV with Styleforum to occupy all available time...
My bedroom is unplugged from TV since it's the only place I get any reading done, but I've got one for my living room
I like specifically sought entertainment. TV is too controlling. Can't tell me what to watch.
The internet is 10x worse than television
I'm guessing none of you like sports?
The way I read it, Jon is asking whether not purchasing a TV (as in the set) when he moves negatively impacts his life. I am kinda reading this as a practical question of 'do I have to put a TV on my shopping list when I move' rather than a quasi-philosophical discussion about the delivery medium of televised programming.
... I refuse to have the TV on just for background noise or company. That's what music is for.
When I just moved into my house, I didn't have a TV for a few weeks and no internet for more than a month. Basically, it was heaven. I didn't miss anything on the tv actually, except for football. I did get a lot of reading done during that period. Now that the tv and internet are back, I find myself spending too much time on it.
Lots of people waste their time with allegedly more meaningful pursuits. Have you seen some of the **** that people are creating (art, literature, poetry, etc.)? A lot of these "creative" folks would have been better off watching tv and not bothering the rest of us with their garbage.
Where do you live and what do you do again, odor? It must suck to have amateur arts shoved down your throat everyday.
All I'm saying is that just because people give up tv to do something else, doesn't mean that something else is going to be more meaningful. Many of those people would have been better off just watching tv than wasting their time doing all that other crap. I'm not even sure that reading is any more meaningful than watching tv. It just takes longer.
How many of you have completely unplugged from TV? If so, how has your life benefited? Are there any drawbacks? When I move up north somewhere next year for my MBA, I'm seriously considering not having a TV in my apartment.
