What would you do if there was no music, no sports or any kind of entertainment? Would life be boring if we didn't have any of these things?

i think people from older generations would know how that feels as there's no tv, internet, pc and movies too last time. it's good in a way, that i think family and friends could communicate more with each other and the bond between family, relationship and friendship is much much closer than now. Today technology can be the caused of distance between ownself and the outside world...LOL cos we are too engrossed with online/games/ that we dont even need real interaction anymore.

I definitely agree with you on your comments. The older generation would know what it was like without tv, computers and internet. Our relationships probably would be stronger if we did not have all this technology and other gadgets.

Would entertainment include books? I can't see us, as society, having no entertainment at all. We are a race that must do things for fun. If we didn't have tv, internet, movies, or even books, we would have story-tellers. We would have games to play with others. I certainly think that we would probably be more social than we are now. Today, we can sit alone for hours typing away on a computer...but not truly be alone because there is someone else in the world typing right back to us. But I must say, no internet? That would really suck!

Yes, it would really suck not having the internet or computers because we would not be able to interact with people all around the world like we are now or we would have to find some other way to do that. More books would get read.

I am sure it would be a bit boring but then we would have to do likes like read, or do outside things, gardening, flower growing, hiking, camping, exploring. When things change drastically, people tend to adjust.

Good answer that we would adjust to whatever we have or do not have and there are other things to keep us busy and entertained.

well for one it would put thing back the way it was 30 or more years ago. there was no pc there was no internet as we know it today, there was no home video games none of that stuff we all survived and we had fun. we went out and played with our friends. we did things with our families. and we would probably be a whole lot happier and healtier that we are now. as staticis have it we are not a healthy socity a lot dont do anything except sit in front of the tube or computer. Yes we would be bored at first but it would be nothing we could not survive at and we would probably be a whole lot healthier also

This is all very true and we probably would be a lot healthier without all of these things. We would be getting out more and be more active instead of hiding behind a tv or computer.

I don't thing so because you can turn to books and find things to do with family. Like playing board games or go out and play sports.

There are other ways to entertain ourselves other than electronics and movies. Books are good and spending time with family and friends and exercising and going to the beach.

I'd read a lot.... wait, I already do that! lol But honestly, I think as human beings we'd devise our own way of entertainment.

You are right and so is everyone else that we will find a way to entertain ourselves. We will all become comedians. LOL

If music, movies, sports, or no other form of entertainment existed, we probably wouldn't know any better so we wouldn't be bored. We'd probably be more fascinated by the little things in life like taking walks and visiting time. We take for granted our entertainment as so it's hard for us to see ourselves without it.

I definitely would agree there as I would be outside more and be more active. I certainly love my movies and computer as well so it would be hard at first.

Very good point as it would in some ways get people out of the house and interact more with one another.

I would probably read a book, or write one if there were no books too. Life would not be boring. We would invent these things or other things to entertain ourselves.

If these things were suddenly taken away, then, yes, life would be VERY boring because we have become dependent on these things for entertainment. However, if we never had these things, then from birth, we would find alternate methods to keep ourselves entertained, like our parents and grandparents did...granted they had music and sports, but my parents didn't have a tv until my mom was a teenager and they certainly had no computers.

We certainly have a lot more than what people had a long time ago and they found things to keep them entertained. I think I would spend more time out of my house than in it, if we did not have any of these things.

I suppose we would all just work longer hours or go for walks or actually have long conversations with another human being face to face....It would be an interesting experience

I guess it wouldn't be too bad. I still have my poetry and since I am an inventive and creative person, I could always find something else to do. Like doing hair, hand sewing, beading, and cooking. I guess that's one of the perks of not being electronically dependent.

I dont think that could be ever possible. People always find a way to entertain themselves. "The nature finds its way"

just appreciate everything around you, just imagine you lived with the past with nothing around to entertain yourself, maybe then you can just look up the sky and look around and see the beauty of nature .... you can do island hoping.. that's a good one
