You know I gave up the TV because I can get anything online. The internet rocks.
- ascuttlefish 16y agoI gave up the TV for the same reason, but now I don't bother getting any TV online. I just do without. I sometimes wonder if I could do without the (90%) pablum I read on the internet.
- somebear 16y agoI gave up TV because it just became too tiresome. Haven't missed it at all. I just noticed the other day, when I turned on the TV to play some Wii, that the cable company still hasn't turned off the signal, I don't know if they are hoping to sucker me in?
- ascuttlefish 16y agoWhen I was in university, that was pretty common. I think you're right, they're trying to get you back. Like the coke dealer who tells you the first one is free...
- gaius 16y agoThe first one is free, that's the point!
- ascuttlefish 16y agoIs it? I always wondered about that. My free first line cost me quite a few subsequent lines...
- BvS 16y agoI gave up TV about 10 years ago as well because it was a big time waste. Unfortunately now I tend to waste as much time on the internet... (instead of meeting with friends in real life, spend time with my girlfriend...)
- FluidDjango 16y agoTV is to internet as digital tape is to SSD. Who wants one's time to be held prisoner to 30 secs of ads to get to 5 min of info/entertainment (or to have to tivo and come back later)? PS: death to the video on mainstream web sites (CNN, etc) that precede video content with add requirement. PPS: Long live click-to-flash.
