What my life would be like without computers & television

My life without computers or television would be really boring. I rely on both the television and the computer for a lot of my entertainment.

It's sad how a lot of my friends connect just only on Facebook or myspace on the Internet. It's amazing how friendship comes down to "you didn't post back on my wall!". We rely on the Internet for a lot of communication ways. Such as the news, blogs, IM's, and Facebook/Myspace. I'm pretty much a Facebook addict, as a lot of college students are. It would be hard for me not to check Facebook at least twice a week to see what people are saying/giving me. Sometimes I think I would be better off without the computer, but then I realize how much I rely on Google and yahoo to find research items for papers in classes. Without the Internet, for some people it would be really hard to find research for a paper.

My life without television wouldn't be that difficult. Although a lot of my favorite shows and entertainment are on there, it wouldn't be hard to give up, it's just a show on t.v. and usually they're just fictional. Even the "reality"shows these days are scripted. The only reason why a lot of people watch t.v. is because of the news, to keep up with everyday things. Without television, people would have to rely on the newspaper to keep them up with what's going on in the community and the world now-a-days. I never read the newspaper unless it's an article on something that interests me or someone I know. Without t.v. and computers, I would probably read books and the newspaper a lot for entertainment. I would still go out with my family and friends like I do now. Even "hanging out" now revolves around watching your favorite show with a bunch of your friends who like the show, too. Our lives revolve around the media, for some people I don't think they would have much of a life and a lot of jobs wouldn't be existing right now.
