I quit watching TV since the summer of 2009. I never had a TV all my life. I got my first TV at the age of 28 or 30 or something around that age. Of course we had a TV at home where I grew up and I watched all the normal TV-shows kids are allowed to watch. But I nearly never missed it while studying or after or now.
Bought a little TV as I was able to get a cheap used one of a guy at the gym.
I have to admit that I had some favourite TV-shows I loved to watch like Lois & Clark, Dallas, CSI, Dr. House, Greys Anatomy, Smallville and Angel. But I don't miss all of it.
The more I think about TV, the more I got angry as I guess that the world of TV ist 98% a big lie.
Here are some of my thoughts why you don't need TV:
- TV is a time-stealer
- you don't need TV to blank your mind, a good CD, a good book, a run in the park, watching nature around your house/appartment, a comfortable sit in your armchair with feet up can be as much enjoyable or even more
- you can save a lot of electric power
- you don't have the huge electro-smog of TV
- you have more space in your appartment
- you have more time for other things more important
- you save a lot of your nerves as you are not annoyed anymore by ridiculous and needless advertising
- you are able to get the news via internet and you could watch movies on your PC or at the movies without nerving advertising
- you save money as you won't need to pay for TV-programs anymore
- Nothing looks ever as good in reality as it is shown on TV! Not actors nor things.
- nearly everything is fake or artificial pushed up to be more sensational
- each and everything is influenced by the minds and opinions of the TV-makers, NOTHING ever is objective (people who believe that things told on TV is the truth are pathetic and naive)
- you can live out your voyeurism in nature, on the streets, in shops...
- you can use the time saved without TV for some really useful things like getting your house/appartment/garden clean and neat, do some active sports, read a good book, prepare some wonderful meals, meet with friends, phone with friends, do more traveling, go out and have fun, enjoy nature anywhere, have more sex or wtfever
