Actually, I can easily visualize life without tv - I've lived without for a decade and more, and have never regretted that decision. What I can't quite visualize is life without a computer (I'd miss the blogging and the ability to converse with friends I've never met). Nice poem!
i remember life without tv...as a kid...and we went without it as a fam for nearly 5 years up until about a year ago actually...its much better without...
There are few things I would miss on television; but I would miss the news. (And, at the moment, Dancing with the Stars!)I wonder what all the Presidential candidates would do without such ready access to television.
Interesting Laurie. Actually had a 24-hour stretch without internet. It was a more peaceful time, easier to focus in on things, including writing.
Reminded me that it is good to take a break from the ever-present social media.
Worth a moment to ponder, for sure!:)
