I have four TVs and Direct TV, which I love.
My question to those of you who have thrown your TV over a cliff is...what do you do in your free time, ie the evenings? Read, twiddle your thumbs, listen to classical music? I don’t get it.
Ever hear of the internet? *snicker*
I haven’t tossed the tv yet but I spend tons of time on this site reading the news - instead of watching the news.
If I want to find a TV show or movie that I want to watch instead of what the cable channels decide I should watch -I can usually find them on the internet - instantly.
I really should toss the tv.....
“Read, twiddle your thumbs, listen to classical music? I don’t get it.”
Read for sure, surf the ‘net, crafts of various sorts, listen to the radio/podcasts.
I haven’t thrown my tv off a cliff, but, I really only watch 2-3 shows a week. No cable, for one thing.
I like to spend any free time I have reading articles here on FR, or if I want I watch a movie. But truly, my goal is to not have a lot of "free" time. Free time to me is wasted time. I like to work. And then I like to rest up so I can work some more. To me, entertainment is overrated. I like to be the one doing things, not the one watching someone else do things. Ideally, by the time I get home (after 9pm), I'm spent. I'll brush my teeth, wash up, read a little and go to bed.
I just imagine what I'll think when I'm dying. Will I regret not watching more tv? Why waste time on fiction when reality is all around you? But that's just me. I do enjoy a good movie.
