If you stopped watching television tomorrow what would you do with the time?  |
|
 I don't normally watch television. I have two tv shows that I like to watch but I usually watch them on my computer rather than suffer through all of the commercials. I can save 15-20 minutes watching the same 1 hr show by watching it on line. I haven't sat in front of the tv to watch anything but movies in quite a long time, and the reason that I do watch movies on tv is that my bf bought a DVD player so that we could have "movie nights" and cuddle. Which I feel is good for the relationship and a valid use of my time so in response to his purchase of the DVD player I joined Netflix. It works out well here.
So the question is or I should say questions are. How much tv do you watch per day? Per week? What else could you do with that time if you weren't hooked to your shows and the tyranny of the television schedule? Would you garden, or walk, or exercise, or maybe spend more time talking with your kids and family? Turning off the television in your house is sometimes a great thing to do, it depends upon how heavily addicted to that box you are, but just think what you could do with the extra time that you would have if you just completely lost interest in watching tv!

1.  Binthu (2868) | 4 weeks ago |  Hi Sharone,
Most of the times I never watch the television and would
like to spare my time in the usual ways. Unless otherwise if there
is any such good program in the television, I would watch otherwise
not at all to have the looks in the television. Most of the time
I would like to spare my time on the computer and surf the net for
the collection of the valid information. Some times I used to check
so many foreign type recipe for the foods preparation and then I have
tried for myself to taste the good foods. So when we are not watching
the television it is really very good to spend the time in the useful
manners.
Have a nice day.

 sharone74 (2193) | 4 weeks ago | Depending on what you are watching TV, time spent watching TV can also be rewarding and useful. Every once in a while there is some useful information that you can use that gets aired every once in a great while. However use of your computer is interactive and causes the brain to continue functioning and hitting on all cylinders instead of going into stand by like it does while one is at rest watching television. Like they say it is not what you do but how you do it.
Have a good day too. | |

| 3. malamar (435) | 4 weeks ago |  It is so rare that I watch television, but I do like to watch movies. I wouldn't give up the odd movie just to free up some time because I enjoy the movies and they relax me.
However, if I did find that I was stuck in front of the television too often, I would shut if off and pick up a good book instead. I do know many people who watch television for hours each day/evening, and I do wonder how on earth they get anything else done at all.

| sharone74 (2193) | 2 weeks ago | I too prefer reading to sitting vegged out in front of the "idiot box" as my mother used to call it. But conversely people who think that they don't spend a lot of time "watching television" have simply transferred their entertainment from old fashioned television (regardless of the no. of channels, to the internet (billions of sites (channels to choose from!) | |

| 5. mama_bear (602) | 4 weeks ago |  i am a somewhat solitary and anti-social person. i do not get out very much and i do not have any friends in canada as yet, nor have i made any effort to make any. i engage in solitary sports, and these include reading, net surfing and most importantly watching tv. i love tv and yes i have been called an addict, science fiction is one of the very cornerstones of my existence, so i spend a lot of time in front of the tube. it is also a very educational tool, i learn a lot from tv. i think that i would be a little lost without it, but i would adapt to not having it if i had to. if there was no tv i would read a lot as i have a very active imagination and i would also be on the computer more. who knows i might even actually leave the house to seek out people in real space.

6.  jambi462 (2090) | 4 weeks ago |  If I stopped watching television tomorrow I would have probably a couple of extra hours each week to do some extra stuff. If I stopped watching television I would probably spend that time reading more, doing more research on the computer, working online, playing video games, making music, or listening to music.

| 7. getbrowser (1431) | 4 weeks ago |  I used to have a habit of watching TV everyday!
But now, I completely lost interest in watching tv and have spent much time online. Yes, if I have any spare time, I will spend much time on myLot. You see, here, I can keep in touch with all my friends, post responses to communicate with others and help people who are seeking help. At the same time, I also join Twitter, a social network microblogging site, where I can gain the latest news and information.
For my, watching TV is really a waste of time.

| 8. peavey (3721) | 4 weeks ago |  Days and weeks can go by without me ever turning on the TV. I didn't even have one until about a year ago when I wanted to watch football and decided it was worth it for that. When I do watch it, it's football or baseball and the news. For those times, if I weren't watching TV, I'd be busy as usual, cleaning house, cooking, here on myLot or doing other programs. I might be listening to an audio book or reading, too.

| 9. earth2jacq (904) | 4 weeks ago |  I just like a few shows so I can handle not watching telivision for a day. If I stopped watching television tomorrow I would probably use that time to be more productive. I would concentrate on typing captchas as an extra way to earn online.

Now I have a son and no longer watch television much no time anymore lol. I would have to say not watching tv as much has made me actually be able to live life instead of staying home watching television all day. So I would definatly say that i could live without tv now because my son my whole day everyday .
