TV is Evil
I’ve heard this over and over from various sources: TV is bad. I grew up watching way too much TV and pretty much depended on it for 90% of my entertainment even into adulthood. Now that my wife and I sold our TV for our move, we’ve realized how dependent we were on it for taking up our time, and that disturbed us greatly. Not only that, we were paying almost $90/month to DirecTV for (mostly bad) programming and TiVo charges.
We’ve agreed that after the move, we are not going to buy a new TV. We are going to get a TV tuner for the computer that will be in the office. If there is something really special that we want to see on TV, we can watch it on the office computer. The office will hopefully be uncomfortable enough that we won’t want to veg-out and stay there the whole night gawking at the screen.
I will still set up a home theater in the house somewhere since that is my passion, but it will only be there for the occassional movie and video game. Maybe some day, I’ll be strong enough to eliminate those as well…
