TV

[ZenitYerkes]

A live street interview to the people about TV, an old man of about 70 years is asked: "What do you think of the contents TV offers nowadays?"
"I actually don't remember having watched TV, to be honest"
"Not even a bit?"
"Nope"
"And why not?"
"Well, what am I missing?"

Really, what would it be of our lives without TV? Or any other screen in our house? Imagine a whole day you had to spend without PC, TV, iPod,... would you be able to end the day sane?

I can record a moment in my childhood in which I was spending some time with my family in Potes, a little village in Cantabria; where we decided not to bring anything electronic. It happened to be a TV there, a black and white television no one ever used since the 70s. We fixed it and we could only watch the Athens Olympic Games, but we spent most of the time watching the sports channel.

We are addicted to watching a screen, is a bad habit our society teaches us.

Now something more recent: last Saturday I spent all day long (except the evening) without watching TV, or being at the computer. Just listening music. And I can say that thanks to that I've got almost finished my introduction for a personal project.


I want to challenge you: would you be able to spend a whole day long without staring at a screen?
