[...] This is one of the fundamental reasons there has been such a dramatic rise in the drug abuse culture alongside the rise of television. Television must be the worst invention in the history of humankind when it comes to what makes people feel lonely. You see it entertains you and at the same time it programs you into complacency. And this is very, very real indeed. I highly recommend you read the articles on the Steve Pavlina’s blog about Giving Up TV. [...]

[...] I came across an articleby Steve Pavlina about abstinence from watching TV and it is actually something I have personal experience with. When I was 15 I went to a boarding school for one year and it was a very educational experience. We lived in small houses with space enough for 8 boys and girls – or in my case just boys, as I was unfortunate enough to be placed in the only house that was all boys. Although the house had a TV we could use, there were so many social activities that it was hardly ever in use. I lived at the school for one year and saw practically no TV at all. It made me realize a few interesting points about watching television. [...]

[...] So I spoke to Matt and then coincidentally, just recently, I was reading through some old posts from some blogs that I peruse rather frequently. Steve Pavlina spoke about how he gave up television a few years ago and how it had an interesting effect on the rest of his life. James Brausch has a number of fascinating posts about how tv watching has a direct correlation to overall income and how tv steals your life like a thief in the night. [...]

[...] In the last week or so, I’ve noticed Mr. Ramsey pushing TiVo Kidzone by giving away a couple TiVo boxes with complimentary one year subscriptions every week. It seems to me that yet another unnecessary consumer appliance devoted to a mind numbing habit – and one with a monthly fee after that first free year, should you actually win – is just about the last thing your average debt encumbered family needs, even if it helps you keep those nasty programs from the young ‘uns. How about getting out the manual and learning how to use the V-Chip required on any modern television bigger than 13″? Or, if one were actually that concerned, getting rid of the TV altogether probably isn’t the worst idea in the world. [...]

[...] What would we have to gain from giving up most of that television watching? Families will start talking with each other again, according to many anecdotes. Here’s some additional benefits: “better mental clarity, (desired) weight loss, exploring new hobbies, better relationships, more energy, higher productivity, greater emotional stability, and even better sex.” People will knit themselves back into communities. For those viewers who fail to be highly selective, sitting and watching television is one of those modern activities (another is being a sports spectator) that gives the illusion that one is doing something when one is actually doing nothing. As long as one is under the illusion that one is doing something, one will be oblivious to any suggestion that one needs to start doing something. [...]
