Recently I removed satellite TV from my house. One of the best things I could have ever done. I currently only have broadcast TV. First off I did it to save money. Since the conversion from analog to digital broadcast is great. Why pay for TV that is all ready free. Most of the programs 80% that my family and I watch are broadcast programs. The other programs were just something to pass the time. The biggest benefit I have gotten from this is a understanding that there are other things to do with your time rather than watch TV. Don't get me wrong I like TV like the next person. I just think we are wasting to much time in front of the TV. This is the first year that I have been able to grow a healthy garden. I have tried for the past five years. The flowers that my wife has planted this year are all doing well. I believe this is because instead of plopping down in front of the grove tube we are getting up and taking care of stuff. My kids are watching better programing also. We had a concern that they might get bored. Then we woke up and thought about our childhoods and we did not have the twenty four seven cartoons. That for the most part just drain away a child's imagination. Broadcast TV does have a twenty for seven cartoon channel but the shows on there all have a good message. My kids have become more creative and more interactive with the both of us because we have removed this big distraction from our daily lives. We do gather around and watch some shows but we do not go into separate rooms and watch our own shows. We are getting outside more and enjoying life the way it was meant to be.
One day I think that Americans will come to the same conclusion that we do not need to pay for TV when we get what we need for free. Also most all show that we used to watch are available online. But i have found that we o not go online and watch them. Some things you can just go without. Being a zombie to your family is defiantly something you can go with out. Get up and shut off the 300 channels of nothing to watch and enjoy your family and friends. Life will get better for you it has for me and it has only been 3 months. I can see it only getting better as we get closer.
What do you think?????????????????????
