Anyone else out there given up on watching TV?

Question

I mean, all you see are people you can't measure up to (looks-wise) and get brainwashed into buying hamburgers or cars or cell phones. If you have stopped watching TV, have you noticed better mental function?

Answer 1

Yes, actually I have.

I used to spend at least 5 hours a day on TV, watching everything and anything. Then I moved house and I didn't have a TV anymore. I initially wanted one but after 2 weeks without it I just didn't care anymore.

It allowed me a lot more time: I started working out more (so I got fitter), my grades improved, I learned new things by spending more time reading books, it has improved my social life (instead of watching reality TV I go out and actually live it). So all these things that I never did before because of TV have bettered me I think. And any TV shows I really love, I just buy them on DVD.
