Hello to all my friends.. One day my daughter told me that her teacher wanted to explain what will birds do without trees... But she connected this with watching television... She told each one of the children to say what would do thy without television in their lives... And some children answered that if there would be no tv ... how will they be updated about latest fashion and trends among people... some told that they would not e able to sleep without that and even they will not be able to eat food.... It seems like from children to people who have became old... But i found silly when people are too much concerned about television and internet also... Don't you think this seems very silly...

eshan I would be desolated and sort of isolated without my computer as I am retired and in this tiresome retirement center instead of life as we once had it in our two bedroom apt. my son lost his job, and we were evicted as we had run out of money so now I am here at Gold crest paid for with my social security check and ss i check each month and my son who now has part time job is still in gov. sponsored apt with two other men. so my computer and my phone are my key to keeping in touch with my son, my only family here , and Nelda my best friend.as for the boob tube thats what it is most of the time. I have few shows I like but I do not live for tv. But I have to have my internet to stay connected to the life I wanted a nd once had.. for me my computer is a way to keep in touch and stay in touch.

Hi eshaan, we couldn't deny that nowadays majority of people are quite rely on internet and television. As what I know, young ones around here who can access internet will visit outlets or cyber cafes or internet centers getting on to the web to do whatever they are favorite online. Therefore such places will be very crowded with customers in the evening or nighttime. Whereas housewives and elderly people engross in watching their favorite tv programs during their free time. Some even seen having their meal in front of the screen Yeah, before possessing home internet I did the same thing eating meal when watching tv series as well Nowadays I'm not only spending time doing computer work I kill nearly all my leisure time having fun on my computer. I'm no longer watching tv I indulge so much in watching internet free tv series as well as movies. I can say I'm addicted to internet and I will be depressed if my internet is down. once a person is heading over heels about internet and television would tend to be in such seems like really silly and crazy situation that those who are yet laymen could never realize and understand how great the fun is indulging in these joyous activities lol..... Happy posting and have a nice day.

You are very much welcome dear Me too eshaan, I watched tv programs to get amused mostly after I had finished eating dinner and get the clothes dumped into the washing machine the time I didn't own pc and network. Even nowadays I watch internet movies and soap operas only during my leisure time. Lol...I dislike discussing or talking about the false stories I have watched with friends or workmate. It seems quite silly lol... Why spending precious time keep on gossip about such impractical stuffs which is so meaningless. To me entertainment is entertainment and they are not thing happen in our real life. Treat this as an amusement to get us relaxed and refreshed after a hard day work It's my habit to surf net during my leisure time. Having fun here at myLot is a must for me daily when I'm free. I wonder whether I can say I'm addicted to internet. You know there are lots of fun and joy to get on to the web as there are countless interesting things to explore broaden our info and knowledge

Thanks for quick response my dear friend.... You are very right... Earlier i used to watch television but not too much.... and nowadays i have completely stopped doing so... Nowadays i only use internet in my leisure time.... Its very silly of people who watch too much television and are addicted to it.... Its good if you want to watch television for your entertainment and for some of the current happenings around the world When i go somewhere for functions and parties, many people talk about some serials a lot... like they discuss about what has happened in that serial that day and all that stupid stuff... some talk about there looks... But i simply stand there and i feel very bored I think it would be better if I would not be here... happy posting

The first Tv in my home came after my graduation and internet after getting my job. So, was not i update, yes i was... but now the kids seem over smart and they think that without Tv they cant breath... They are well known about Shahrukh Khan or Michael Jackson... but ask them, do they know Khudiram Bose or Jaun Neruda? Can we call them updated?

Dear friend, You are right... nowadays kids have became very over smart... But i do not find it too weird if children are doing so... Because nowadays whole world is too much addicted to television... You are right.. i am not saying that you are wrong...but its fine that they are using television for their own entertainment plus they always want some fun... But i agree with you that they are wrong because they are becoming too much addicted to it... and this would not result too much good for them.. thanks for your response and happy posting...

Now honestly, the television I could see myself living without. However, if they were to take away my computer, I don't think that I would be able to survive. Yes, that is my way of admitting that I am completely addicted to the computer. I have used a computer since I was a young girl and because of that fact, I don't think it is something that I could live without. I would be a very depressed person if I didn't have the computer, but I don't think it would cause my demise.

Yeah, television has become a pivotal point in our lives. I love watching TV because it keeps me entertained with the news and entertainment, plus I love to watch movies. However, I rhink watching too much tv is bad for your vision. My niece had t use glasses because she watches tv way too close and that affected her vision. But afterall, to answer your question, I do think it is silly because people from ages ago didn't have tv's back then and they still lived a normal life. :D

You are right my dear friend... Watching tv for a little entertainment is good and also it is good to update you with current happenings but if you watch too much television it affects your eyes plus you will become addicted and it will become too much of your habit and will affect you badly...

Television allow people to connect to different parts of the world from the comfort of their home. This keeps us update on news around the world. How else are you going to know about Osama being killed, Japan's recent tsunami and stuff? Television helps us to keep in touch with the day to day occurrence. It is also a source of entertainment. We can watch films,series. However, watching the television for a very long time is harmful to us. Many people prefer to watch only the recreational programmes thus, bringing down the educational importance of television. Television has brought about many changes in the field of amusement , education and communication. It cannot be denied the advantage of having a television.

You are right friend television has many advantages... but i also feel that it has too many drawbacks also... that is quite right that without television you won't be able to know current happenings.... but if there would be a survey of people watching television more for serials and entertainment programs or for their own knowledge so naturally the number in the first category would be more than the number i the second one.... isn't it.... I cannot deny that television has many advantages too...

If TVs were not there we would climbing up the trees! Don't we know at least some of us did have TV-less days. We had more outdoor games. Today all gaming has lost the execise value because everything is only finger-work! If the birds didn't have the trees, they would set up house on peoples homes. Sparrows did that other birds would also learn to. Internet has made knowledge avilable at fingertips without efforts. It has taken awy the desire to do a hard-nosed literature survey. Ph.D's could come easy these days at least the one in the humanities...
