I would get more done if there was no television. I would read more, write more and probably socialize more. I work from home. For awhile the television was on as much as 18 hours of the day, often as background to fill out the house. Lately, I developed that habit of turning it off turning the day, but it’s still on up to twelve hours each day. Often, I scan a multitude of channels and can’t find anything interesting to watch, but the set remains on. I once met a young man who said he didn’t even own a television. I wondered what that would be like. When I was a kid we would take vacations to a place where we had no television for 6 weeks. It brought my family together. Ironically, television was also important to me as a kid. Many shows inspired and awed me, got my creativity going. Oher shows helped me deal with problems in my family. I have mixed feelings about television, but if suddenly all broadcasters went out of business, I think I would be okay.

One response to “Television”

I’m the same way. I have a love/hate relationship with the television. My Dad was a TV repairman, so growing up we had TVs in every room of our house! It became background noise to my life. Now, it is very distracting as I try to write every day. I try to turn it off for most of the day. I allow myself to watch one show while I eat my lunch. Then, it’s off again until my husband gets home from work.
