Life without television

I have been living without a television for months. And I love it. In my last apartment, I had a big television with more than 100 channels. There was hardly ever anything on that I wanted to watch. But did that stop me watching it? Oh no! I would sit looking at the television for hours hypnotized by the pictures and sound. Sometimes I would be watching a TV show and when the commercials came on, would change the channel to see what else was on. And then I would forget what I was watching. It was all such a waste of time!

That’s why, when I moved to a new apartment last October, I didn’t take my TV with me. Now instead of looking at a box for hours, I do creative things like painting, writing and making fun cards to send to all my friends. And when I do want to watch a TV show or a film, I either watch it online or on a DVD. That means I watch only things that I'm really interested in and of course, there are no commercials.

Life without TV is a lot more fun than most people think it is. Try it some time!
