Television?

The more I think about it, television seems purely like a distraction from our daily lives, and from what needs to get done, or from being with people. Is television a good or a bad thing, in your opinion?

if you're learning something from it or it's honestly making you laugh then yes but if you're just watching it coz you're convinced there's nothing better to do then no.

This afternoon, I decided to turn off one of my favorite shows, because I realized just exactly what you're saying, and went to do something that needed to get done.

When my wife arrived home a liitle after that (just a few minutes, in fact), she thanked me for doing what it was (vacuuming).

She sure would not have thanked me for sitting around watching TV!

Television can be both bad and good. It can relieve boredom for shut-ins and if you watch educational shows like on the Discovery Channel, you might even learn something.Television some said, is the opiate of the masses so I guess it serves its' purpose. As for myself, I would much rather read than watch tv unless I'm watching with someone and we are enjoying a program together.

Like anything else, it depends on how it's used [or abused], & whether it's usage is excessive or not.

I have on ocassion, used the TV as a babysitter, so I could hang my clothes on the line. I don't think 10 minutes is excessive, & it kept my toddler entertained.

But, I think it could become dangerous, maybe mind-numbing if used all the time instead of outdoors fresh air, reading, computer games. I think we need a healthy mix of the bad stuff to keep us good! ;)

TV is bad we don't have one in our home!!! We've got better things to do, and WOW imagine this our kids actually play outside.

I think that is an amazing machine to make the world very small and learn ever thing about anything.

But when i see that stupid singers or rich people or some body doing most idiot things on that screen i just hate that TV.

TV is not the enemy. it doesn't have a

keyboard or a mouse, and you don't have

to sit 2 inches away from it to

zone in on it.

can you say: COMPUTER? good. now clean

up those chores and call your parents.

good form of entertainment if you know how to balence it out in you life and not get addicted

television and computers not much difference,

tv is a good thing. too much of it is bad

It's good because it's a little escape from every day life.

GOOD, GREAT, AWESOME, GOOD, GOOD, AND ABSOLUTELY GOOD!! LOL

I don't watch that much television. However, I think too much is bad & am always telling my kids so. In moderation it can be enertaining & even educational.

Do a tv experiment... get rid of it for a while and see how you feel. If you feel better, get rid of your tv. If you don't, keep it.

"It's an absolutely wonderful invention"~!!

I think its bad,the only good think about it is getting the weather,and watching your favorite movies or tv shows,im talking about shows like ten years ago,not todays shows

I never really watch it anymore. It's only a good thing when your getting some kind of weather warning or something.

It can be use full if there was more educational programs and less violence, sex and swearing but it is true before TV we had more time for each other, visiting, barbecues but now TV seems to rule our live in a way

A good thing in my life because I am alone most of the time, it acts like white noise for me.

its a mix. it is good while your waiting for something (to pass the time) but if its a sunny day its a waste of time

Not any worse than a computer.

You get info from both.

You get junk from both.

You get hooked on both.
