Television seems like it is less and less important for people as they get older. As young kids, the TV is a god of some sort. Every minute not spent in front of it – is a minute lost. As we grow a little older, friends occupy our time so we spend less time mesmerized. The older we get our preferences start to get more specific: Sports, politics, music, etc. Then into adulthood we narrow preferences even more that relate to profession: Stocks, medical shows, weather, 24 hour news.

I have a select few shows that are based on things I like, but I do not sit in front of the TV all day long. People waste so much time sitting in front of TV watching mindless time-wasters like Reality TV, which turns me off…and my TV.

TV should be used as a source of information with credible sources (there are 4 for every topic!) that give us a view to relevant events:  Michael Jackson’s death (RIP)
