5 days without a television

Last Friday evening I had a wonderful dinner with a friend who shared with me that when she and her husband met years ago they had one television set in their home and a small black and white one in the closet outside. They rarely watched television and when the main TV broke they did not replace it. Instead if something was important enough for them to want to watch it, they would go outside and pull the small black and white television from the closet, hook it up and have to sit close enough to see the picture on the miniature screen. Years later they have a television but mainly watch movies on their computer instead of TV shows. During this conversation I realized how much I had fallen back on having the TV on in the background recently and that my productivity was decreasing as days passed. I decided right then and there to cut out television totally from my daily life and I voiced my intention to my friend who supported me in my endeavor.
