At first I didn’t’ know why it happened.  But it did.  One day I looked up and I
realized that I had not turned on the television set for a month.  That month has
turned into 2 months and I can’t visualize myself turning back.  I was never
really a broadcast TV watcher.  I mean I mainly used to watch The Cosby
Show, Star Trek TNG and DS9.  Other than that I used to watch sports.  Mainly
basketball.  The Los Angeles Lakers to be more precise.

Ok, wait a minute.  Let me make it clear to you that, on occasion, my wife and
I watch DVD movies together.  But watching a DVD is a very much
"controlled" experience.  What I mean by "controlled" is that we have the
power to choose the movie that we want to see.  We also choose the time to
watch it.  Broadcast TV is different.  The viewer has very little control of what
he or she will see or at what time.

So why did I do it you ask?  Why did I stop watching broadcast TV?  Well, it’s
quite simple really.  One only has to ask a few questions in order to come to
the same basic conclusion.  To make it interesting I’ll give you the conclusion
first and than the questions & answers.

Conclusion: TV IS NO GOOD!

Question:  What is the purpose of television?
Answer: The purpose of television is to sell you products, 99% of which you really
don’t need.
