Essential: food, clothing, water, blankets. Those are the only Essential items in my house. Each will help me and my family to survive. Everything else ( furniture, air conditioning, whirlpool, computers, tv's,stereo's, i pods, etc) are just wants. Now, I personally cannot think of life without my puter. Sad, but true. I do everything on it. My kids couldn't live without the x-box & playstation, and my hubby couldn't life without TV. Of course, we could actually live without these items, but each bring some type of assistance or joy to our lives, and we have become accustomed to these things. In essence, they have established essentuality by being, but they are not absolutely essential.

I was addicted to TV until I got to college and had to go cold turkey when I lived in a dorm longtime ago. \n\nI found there was much more time to study, read for pelasure, socialize, participate in community and political activities, do sports, etc. \n\nI do watch TV now, but only very selectively. Most TV is junk.

I always sleep with the TV on.  I don't know why, but I can't get to sleep without it.  Maybe 'cause my own thoughts keep me up and I need the diversion.

It's about 50-50 for me because when there is nothing to do then I watch tv and when there is nothing on tv then I'm on the computer.

Watch tv silly. What else (besides Answers)?

I don't, it bores me.  Even if I'm in a hotel I don't watch it unless I need the weather report.\n\nAt home I will pop a DVD into the computer or a (disconnected) television... about... once... every... two... months.\n\nI don't tell ANYONE how seldom I watch TV because I'm afraid they will find it very eccentric.

I actually experimented with this a few years ago when I returned from living in Japan. Having lived overseas for almost two years, I decided not to simply go back to my life as it was before. So initially, I went without cable (or satellite, which I've never had), a cell phone, magazine subscriptions, etc. Gradually, I began reinstating such habits and possessions but I was intrigued to see how long it would take to make the adjustment.\n\nWell, the television thing was intriguing. I found that without benefit of the usual gazillion channels (and options to waste time sitting in front of the idiot box), I watched little to no TV. In fact, limited as I was to only local network fare, I relied heavily on PBS if and when I actually did watch TV at all. I was almost proud of myself for not returning to form... almost.\n\nWhat ended up happening was that I basically bowed to social pressures. This is almost a topic for another question but I realized how much watching and following sports serves as a function of social bonding (particularly with my fellow males). So that eventually necessitated getting ESPN. Loving films as I do, I also missed TCM. Picture quality was another major issue (have you tried using rabbit ears recently? good grief!). And before I knew it -- in this case, within two months -- I was back to my old habits. \n\nBut hey, I am still living without a cell phone and that's something, isn't it? :-)

Not much ... we are slaves to television. We crowd around it (or even worse, each turn on TVs in our own rooms) to see the latest Law & Order: SVU or sport event.\nImagine, if we had no TVs, we would spend time together as families, and go out and exercise, and sit around the dinner table. We would learn how to TALK to one another. *SIGH*

I grew up without tv and am raising my child without it also.  She is not quite two and a half and is briliant!  The first time a tv was on in her presance she had no idea what to do with it.  She did not get the concept of sitting down and gazing into the box.  I myself get sad and disgusted any time I watch tv.  The shows are terrible, all of this reality tv crap scares me, but more than that it is the comercials!  My heart starts to flutter and I get so worked up seeing the structure of it all.  The systems that have been created to get into our brains to direct us this way or that, we have lost our free will.  What people are exposed to is what they adhear to.  What we watch on tv is what we become.  If we don't watch tv our world becomes alot bigger, and alot more creative.  I have a friend who is a preschool teacher and does not watch tv.  She has told me that the kids who watch tv play games that are repeating dialogs from tv shows, and the kids who don't watch tv have a world of there own, and that is a beautiful thing!

I can't afford a TV license so I don't have a TV, we get letters through once every 4 months threatening to come and reposes our telly and you know, a load of rubbish.  But honestly, life without a telly isn't too bad.  We play cards, or read, and it really is amazing, I actually have long deep conversations with my boyfriend which we haven't done in a long time.  Try it, it's only a month.
