... at the amount of people who *claim* to "not have a TV." I know folks who have monthly "TV shoots," where they all traipse out into the woods to kill the evil brain-sucking boob-tube. The only requirement for joining the hilarity is to bring along a working, functional TV to shoot. These same, otherwise-conventional men & women then happily return to their homes to comfort themselves via their computers. This is acceptable to them, because they believe they're "interacting" with their boxes. In reality, they're simply selecting a different method of entertainment.
Either you do or you don't. If you don't, you don't. You're reading, playing, talking to someone, sitting alone in the quiet, whatever. If you're watching TV shows or movies on a computer (or at work, or eating out, or ... ), or engaging in mindless gaming (or surfing) "interaction," then it's the same as owning a TV. All you're doing is inconveniencing yourself for the emotional uplift of "not me."
Unless you can convince me otherwise.
