Are You A TV Addict?!
I’ve heard it said that T.V and computer games can promote anti-social behaviour, and to a degree I guess it’s true. Although, I think most adults are less affected and they use television as a way to start a conversation, like we do here, or discussing sporting events. Children seem at the most risk, watching television seems to hamper certain learning skills, i.e how to communicate in the real world, and in some cases they are shut off from society.
You hear that some are influenced by T.V, again it could be attributed to how your childhood was shaped, you end depending on T.V as your portal to the outside.
But I think most people with a T.V have the same requirements as each other, I watch only things that interest me, so at best it’s about 2-3 hours viewing, and that’s on a good night.
But I would rather be sat in a front of a T.V with a nice cold beer than throwing my money down the drain getting rat-arsed down the local bar (though once in a while is good!!!), a lot of it is due to age or your circumstances. Like housewives, stuck at home all day, the only highlight is picking up the kids from school, and the only entertainment provided is boring daytime T.V…sounds like hell to me!!!
