I could possibly go without it at home if I could go somewhere (like a movie theater) and watch a few shows here and there on Tivo. And if I had a commercial property in which I could get all of my work done remotely, I'd be in favor of being computer-less at home too. I am glad to know that not having a tv has enriched your life though. Kudos! @ bbrian017 You hit the nail on the head. Nobody seems to care that we're paying for the privilege to be marketed to. The whole concept behind paying for entertainment is that we should be getting it ad free. And I hear you about the complaining stupid women on reality shows. I can't stand to watch the shows because there's ALWAYS people on there crying, and it makes me want to scream. Thanks for commenting! @ Ian

I've not owned a TV for about 10 years and highly recommend it. I realised how much of a crutch it was (point 5) and how much I was using it to avoid being more creative and taking more responsibility for what I do with my free time. After all - someone who decides the TV schedule must know better than me how I need to use my free time!!!!! .-= Ian Peatey´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.quantumlearning.pl/you-make-a-difference" rel="nofollow">You make a difference</a> =-.
