So anyway, I was thinking of thowing out my TV(s) (or rather, pawning them. I mean, waste not want not...) . The reason being, I probably spend anywhere from 2 to 5 hours a day in front of the damn thing, when I could be doing something better. I could be socializing. I could be exercising. I could be learning an insturment, or maybe a foriegn language. And the thing is, I'm not even one of those "highly motivated people" that needs to be going forward all the time. I believe in stopping and smelling the roses, but I realized, TV is the most passive thing in the world. You actually turn your brain off when you watch it. It's been proven in scientific studies that people eat more when they're watching TV. Your brain can't even perform simple functions like telling you you're full.
So what I want to know is, does anyone have any experience or advice in this area? I can only see benefits, but I'm still reluctant, even scared to let go of the aptly named "idiot box".
