I disagree that reading is being unproductive. You want to see what unproductive is really like, track down and watch an hour of "Maury" or "The Jerry Springer Show" on TV.
- jacquesm 16y agoI got rid of TV a long time ago, I figured it took too much time while giving too little in return. Instead I read online news with an appetite that has me labeled 'news junkie'. It happens in waves though, sometimes lots of it sometimes nothing for weeks or even months. It usually depends on whether or not I have something interesting to do, or a lack of energy or inspiration, it's like a low-activity level thing to do that is still moderately useful because it at least keeps me informed.
- JabavuAdams 16y agoI agree. Part of creativity and "thinking outside the box" is making your box bigger than others'. So really, you're just thinking outside their box.
- megablast 16y agoI disagree with that, unless you are reading something very specific, and for short periods of time. Reading can so easily become something that takes up a lot of time, no different to tv. And if you are not creating, then you are not being a producer, you are being a consumer.
