TV or internet

Do you use the TV or the internet the most? I would say for me it's the internet. I even watch my shows online. With everything streamlined with no commercials and no stopping I prefer it better over the TV. On the net I would be doing multi-tasks where as if I was watching TV, I can only do two are three tasks at once. What about you....

i definitely use the internet more now a days. my boyfriend and i recently moved to our own place and don't have the money to have any tv service, besides the only show i really, really like to watch is grey's anatomy and abc puts them on their site, so we go without tv. i'm online everyday though.

Yup, and you don't have to deal with all the other crap. You can watch it at your own time not have to wait till it comes on. Not only that you don't have to worry about missing anything you can pause you computer but with the TV you need extra devices to do that. Thanks for your added response....

In the last few years, I hardly even bother watching TV. The internet is so much more interesting and it's interactive. You can choose your own entertainment instead of a few set shows. Also, if you want to watch a show you can usually download it and it's often one not even on your local TV. You can watch it at any time you want too.

Yup, I totally agree. If you were to ask my daughter she would tell you she much rather jump on the net then be on the television. She loves watching pucca and other cartoons I have on my website. I also let her jump on Playhouse Disney or PBS kids sites to play games and such...

Watching television does not make me any money, but surfing the Net does. That's why I'm here right now on MyLot. I'm here to make money. You can't do that with the TV. I guess that is why they nicknamed that thing the "Idiot Box". But many people who have not yet familiarized themselves with either the Net or even computers obviously prefer to watch television over much else. Doing both excessively, however, will get you fat and unhealthy. But at least with the Net you can stuff your pockets with money while you're at it.

Yeah, what I said earlier. Cyberspace totally rocks, you get to watch your shows and make money as well. Multi-tasking it's wonderful. As far as unhealthy goes, hmm you can always watch a yoga video or other exercise video on places like youtube and actually work out along side with them. LOL I would put on something the kids like and we would dance like crazy chickens hehe....hey whatever works right hehe.....If you like anime go checkout http://animestreamingworld.blogspot.com/2007/12/bleach-65.html thanks a lot for your response....

Definitely internet, TV programs in country just too boring for me. It's only about celebrities, I actually love watching stories about celebrity but not that much or series movie that don't have quality, they have it in any programs. Believe or not TV's channel in my country only have that 2 programs, nothing else.

Yeah with online you can watch anything from any part of the world. I watch Chinese, Korean and Japanese movies and animes on the net. I catch some other movies too from other countries. It's easy convenient and free, hey what more can you ask for right?

The Internet has more than TV... - The Internet has more than TV...
You can find friends, media, shopping, and just plain fun.
I use the Net more than the TV. The net has more uses. You pay your bills, make money, have fun, entertain yourself with audio & video, connect with family out of state, and correspond. * I'm a shut in, so I do a lot of my shopping online. I can get to a grocery store twice a month by cab. If something I need isn't there, I let my fingers take me to it via the net.

Yup, I hear you my friend does all the grocery shopping online along with everything else she does. I still like to go to the grocery store though. I like to feel the products and smell it before I buy it. But for almost everything else I jump onto cyberspace....Thanks for your response....

I use the internet more. I also watch some of my shows online as I don't always get to catch all of them on TV. And I don't like the commercials too. And of course, aside from watching shows online, I can do a whole lot of other things. Sometimes I even chat while watching my shows. Or respond on myLot while playing online poker, like what I'm doing now. The internet is really great. :)

There isn't much on tv these days to bother watching. Writers strike won't bother me! But I do like the food channel and HGTV and TVland. Other than that and a few soaps in the daytime, I don't watch TV. I can get the same news on line and read only what i want instead of having to listen through all the malarky like sports or celebrity crapola, and other things that have no interest to me. Often, they are talking about something I am interested in and then just stop and I'm going -"okay, and...." looking for more on the topic. ONline I can find more on the topic if I want it. I like the weather better on TV - its on about 20 after the hour so I tune in for that. Otherwise, online

I probably use the internet a little bit more. I take some classes online and so I have to use it for that. I also watch tv shows I might have missed (like Friday Night Lights).

I prefer using the Internet too. This is because I can participate and be part of a program. I watch TV too, when it is on a show I'm interested in and for diversity.

How do you watch tv online? When I have tried to view something it is just clips not the whole show.
