To watch or not to watch
David H04-Sep-22
On December 23rd 2019 I turned my television off, and it hasn't been turned on since. I haven't watched TV for over 2 and a half years. People are genuinely surprised by that and often ask why. I lob the question "why should I?" right back, and they are stumped. Here's your chance to help them out. What benefits does watching TV provide?

    I stop watching the news for 5 years now as it is really depressing. The only thing I watch on TV now in MLB. I could watch baseball all day long and not get tired of it. For the most part, TV SUCKS

      I am a retired senior citizen. I have not watched TV in DECADES. In my humble opinion - TV does not provide any benefits (for me) - not any I need to cultivate

          I watch it if there is something that would interest me. You can always turn off the rubbish. I find some of it illuminating, some entertaining and some educational. If there is nothing on I then go to my computer or my bed and pick up a good book. I think with so many around the world that have been locked down the TV would have been a huge source of entertainment. If you are OK not watching it then that is your perogative but many people do enjoy their interaction with the television set. I was about 8 years old when I first saw TV. It was black and white and the screen was so small and mostly it was live entertainment and it shut down early in the evening.

            You can learn things from the tv.

              I watch to learn. I cant stand gameshows or sitcoms. History. A&E, Story TV, all educational stuff. And I like the Positiv Channel (yes, no "e" on the end). It's all inspiring Christian and rated G movies like Diane Fossey in Gorillas in the mist. Sigourney Weaver played Diane Fossey. Quality viewership. Well "Gorillas in the mist" isn't a Christian movie but is the sort of excellent programming they have on the Positive Channel.

            Many elderly people I know find that television is their only form of companionship.
