I almost never watch television, and the only time I do is when someone has turned it on beforehand and is watching it. Despite the 12 televisions in my household, I rarely watch TV. the only reasons I there are 12, is because A: I kinda collect them, and B: I use them when I host LAN parties. other than that, half are on display, and the other half are used whenever anyone else watches them.

Now radio, that would be harder to get used to not having. And the Internet? Couldn’t even begin to cope.

Ian and I have survived perfectly well without a tv in the past for a number of years and didn’t really miss it, although we do currently have one. Ian even managed three years in Germany without a radio! Now that I couldn’t do…
