I've read a report stating that in 2001, just 27% of Americans were willing to give up TV, as opposed to 49% now (with just 48% for the Internet). But I read that 53% of TV's will be connecting to the Internet by 2013, meaning the TV and Desktop monitor are gradually losing their distinct identies. I'm surprised the term "Computervision" has not become common for this practice.

TV sold out in 2002 and now the internet has more shows than anything you can see on TV nowadays.

I could try to give up TV for a week and use the internet cause that's what people are doing these days.

I'll never give up my TV.  Heck, I have a PS3 and an XBox 360, and neither one of them is even hooked up to the Internet.

Oh, gosh.  ::)

Considering I can watch lots of TV shows online (granted, it may be a day or two after they air), I think I'd much rather keep my internet than television. Not only that, but internet is essential for checking and sending emails, Facebook, other things that contribute to procrastination . . .

That's right,porn is where it's at. O0 You can even watch full films on this website I found a long time ago.

The only thing I watch on TV is news about politics and I watch sporting events. I don;t think I could give up either the TV or the internent.

You do that, and they register your IP Address, then they send you junk mail and spam to your e-mail.  Then the cops show up at your door and confiscate your computer because you are watching free sex videos without paying for it.  While they search your computer, it's discovered that in one of the many pop-up ads, one of them is for underagers (which you were not aware of, but try proving that to them), so the cops slap the cuffs on you and haul you off to jail, where inside prison, you form a singing group with Jonathan King and Gary Glitter called "Old Men with a Young Curiosity".

Then once you get out of jail, it's released that you are a sex crazed pervert who would jump on anything that moves, and your neighbours give you that creepy glare everyday as if to say "There goes that sicko.  Lock your doors when that guy is around.  He belongs back in jail!"  Your track record denies you a job, a car, and no home, and you end up at wits end and homeless, so you decide to rob a liquor store to make enough money just to be able to afford a shirt and shoes, so you can enter a fast food restaurant, long enough to lick the old food off trays. 

Then, as you are leaving to go back to your alley and your cardboard box for shelter, the cops spot you as the robber, and haul your ass away to jail, where you re-form "Old Men with A Young Curiosity" with Gary Glitter and Jonathan King.  Due to good behaviour, the three of you get released at the same time, so you decide to take your group on the road, eventually adding Pete Townshend to the fold.

You end up with a cult following, and make enough money to live in a mansion in the hollywood hills, but then one day a storm strikes, and causes a mudslide that washes away your home, your dreams and your fortune, which leads you back to square one as you don't have enough money to finance your next album, so you part ways with the group, only to have gained enough recognition to get back on track into your old life, and back into your job at Pathmark where you return to the way things were.

You dream big, and watch your dreams get shot down that leads you back to square one.  It was a nice vision, but it stems back to one solution:  Watching porn is bad for you.


Man, I have waaaaaayyyyyyy too much time on my hands ;D ;D :D :D

Never said I haven't.  The way it is nowadays, visiting porn sites is a good way to get viruses.  I've been there, and won't ever go back.  It's cheaper to just rent x-rated videos lol
