OK, i'll keep this short.
I don't watch the mainstream media for the so-called "news" because of the disinformation, propaganda and the lies being told (but I DO watch Attack of the Show on G4 for technology-related things since i'm a gadgetophile and a computer nerd), but today i'm going a full day, that's 24 hours, without ANY television. Instead, i'm going to either be enjoying my desktop PC, or enjoying my Game Boy Pocket consoles with my rechargeable batteries. Either way, i'm looking more and more to the internet for the good things I can find in there instead of the television. I don't watch much of it anyway. This is V's invitation and i'm already taking part of it.

There is no problem for me to spend my days without TV as I am not much interested in it, but my computer. If I want to watch some movies, I just turn on my computer to watch movies on line. It is fun and convenient as there are so many movies available for me to choose to watch. With the computer, I can find anything I expect to. It is really a very stuff.

Yes, I am not updated to television anymore. 
I am more on using computers than televisions. I don't know but I got some feeling that, I am not interested in television anymore. I do watch some drama series but I do it on the net. I like to read news papers too so I don't need to watch news on tv.

It's easy for me to go a whole day without TV because there are other distractions I can entertain myself with. Yes, like you, I'd probably be on the computer instead. Either that, or I'd be out or reading a book. I'm not a big fan of TV. I only really watch TV when the news is on or when something I like is on the Discovery Channel.

Yes I could last a day without the TV. I like to read and thats what I do mostly anyway. Most of the shows on TV I don't watch. And I certainly do not watch what they call reality shows they aren't reality anyway. So I mostly read books are listen to the radio or music.

I'm actually not that big of a fan of television anymore. But I now I used to be, as I couldn't watch less than 3 hours a day. I'm in high school now, so I typically don't have time for stuff like that. Whenever I have extra time, I just chat a bit on Mylot or Facebook.
Before, when I came home from school, all I wanted to do was kick off my shoes and watch TV for a bit. Just a bit. But then hours would pass and I didn't even know it. Then I would be up until eleven doing homework, working my butt off. I'm kind of glad I've changed.

I could easily go a full day without television. To be honest, I hardly ever watch it and in fact have thought about getting rid of my cable. I only watch movies on the television and many times I watch them on my PC so there is no point. But I do admit that there are times I like to sit down and just relax in front of the tv but its not every day

Hi DuoMaxwell.
Yes. I can last full day without watching TV. I don't watch TV everyday. I prefer to read news on Internet. And I prefer to watch my favorite movies on my dvd player - i prefer this because I can watch that what I want. Honestly when I think about it /about watching TV/ - my son watching TV because his favorite kids shows like Lazy Town, Ben 10 etc....
I hate to watch TV at night when there are 'News' - I can see only awful things like murders, car - crashes, and that makes me feel discusting...
That is why I prefer to be in Internet and doing and watching that what I want.

I have had times in my life when i didn't get to watch tv for a long period of time but life would be better if I can watch tv. It feels so quiet with no television around and I enjoy watching a lot of shows some of them are daily shows at that. I also watch the news, lifestyle shows, the drama and sitcoms. So it would be hard for me if there was no tv.

Yes, I could last one day with out TV. I usually don't watch an TV on Saturdays there is nothing I am really interested in watching, so that day is an easy day to not watch on TV. More than one day though I don't know. I have shows I love every night of the week except Saturday so I would miss them. Of course with DVR now I could just tape then and just watch them another day, but the television is a big relaxer for my husband and I at the end of a long day. But I could do it for a cause.

I am a big fan of television and me and my wife usually watch it when we are going to bed and when we are eating,and we try to catch the new episodes of our shows when they come on during the week,even though sometimes we record them on DVR and watch them later but other than that we do not watch television like we used to because we are usually busy especially on my days off since we are trying to get everything done that we do not have time to do on the days I work,and I do think I could go a day without watching television and there have been times where me and my wife did not turn the television on for an entire day because we were either too busy or too tired.

I can live without TV for any number of days. i have gone without it for over 18 months in the past and even today DON'T have the urge to sit in front of it. i'm not addicted to any particular shows or programs. its not a necessity as far as I am concerned.

Yes . I can ... With all these new methods of entertainment I can do one day without TV... Also you can watch TV shows and videos from the site

So newer modes of entertainments are being introduced and there are other activities one can find other than TV. Reading books and gaming are other hobbies I love to do..
Whenever I feel bored I listen to music from my phone ....
