Too much of a good thing?

Do you own a television or should I ask, how many TV’s do you own? Do you have a big screen TV? I just read an article of a teacher in the Rowlett School District that does not own a TV! In fact, I have met several people that do not own TV’s! Wow, can you believe that local people that could get cable are not hooked up to the TV? To be truthful, James and I have thought to do the same thing! Get rid of the Idiot Box!

The average person watches 4.7 hours of a television every day! Now think what you could do with that time. Of course some of us include eating in front of the TV so guess we are doing more than one thing at a time. Seen the ad for Lulu systems that puts TV on any electronic device that you have and the actor is saying they are aliens to make your brains go to mush! Might just be truthful advertising!! Our brains are going to mush, like cottage cheese!

The article pointed out that most of us are not working in our trained or chosen field, and if we used those 10,000 hours on a chosen interest or field, we would become experts in those fields. It is hard to turn the thing off. James and I are trying to do better but it seems never turning it on works best! How many hours do you watch a week? It would be interesting to take a poll but would we really be honest in admitting how much we watch TV?
