I would say that watching TV is about as unhealthy as sitting in front of the computer...how much do you do that?

I think your info is incorrect and if anything that is if you spend 10 hours a day parked in front of your tv. Also keep in mind that your computer monitor is the same as a tv.

TV causing cancer? Come on, lets get real. If you enjoy your life without TV then good for you. But to tell the world they should follow suit because "Someone Tells me If You watching TV a lot you will be Sick for some Bad Diseases Specially Cancer" is a bit silly. Who is the "someone" who told you this nonsense anyway? Thanks, but no thanks. Since the whole world produces and watches TV I doubt I'll give it up because you think I should.

That is along time to not have watched television. I am sure there are many people in the world who do not watch television because they do not have one. I watch television every day. It is how I find out the news and what is going on in the world. Even at work we have televisions on that run announcements and people use them for the messaging. Plus I just like watching sports and movies.

Who told you that watching tv will give cancer?.We can watch tv in our homes.But we should not watch it for a long time.Watching news is very good as we can get updated information.If you feel bored you can see sport and music channels.Tv is a very good stress buster.

Are you really serious? The worst thing that can happen from watching too much TV is that you'll either get lazy or (if you're high enough) things will start coming out of the TV and try to grab you.

I don't think I can live without my Tv. That's the first thing I do when I wake up and one of the last things I do before I go to sleep. So far I don't have any problems from watching to much TV, actually I learn a lot of stuff by watching certain programs. So I guess I be watching TV forever.

I cant agree with you about getting cancer watching tv but i can surely agree if you say that watching tv can contribute to cancer in the really long run(Strictly speaking for CRT tv only).As you know most of our daily electronic devices emit radiation.Even our mobiles phones do that and CRT tv emit more radiation.But these emitted radiations are of very very small amounts and can only contribute to cancer in the really long run,say 20-25 years.But these emitted radiations alone can never be the main reason for cancer ever.Nowadays we dont use CRT tv's its the era of LCD and plasma and these dont even emit radiations half that of CRT.This means it is going to take almost 50 years before it has any effect.So now you get the point now.

I don't watch tv, but I don't think that watching tv is unhealthy, I just prefer my computer and the internet. To me the internet is a better source of knowledge and entertainment than a tv is. Actually I have a tv, but I don't use it. I can easily live without a tv, but I would never give up my computer and my stereo! I prefer to read the news on the net instead of watching the news on tv. I feel more dependent than way, because I can go online any time I want and I don't have to wait for the programme to start.
