I certainly do inconvenience myself but I don’t think it’s for the emotional uplift you speak of. The main reason I don’t have one is because I know that I would spend way too much time in front of it. I just don’t have the discipline not to watch. When at work, if I’m bored, I watch. I don’t want that same temptation here at home. I don’t mind watching a movie on my computer because I have to actively go to the video store, look for something that looks remotely appealing, stand in line, and return it when I’m done. I always ask myself if there is anything better to do before I go. Of course that happens when you own a TV as well but you can always ‘see what’s on’ as an alternative. I don’t want that option.
I’m not a big ‘kill your television’ proponent but I do find it amusing that people have to be home by a certain time to see ‘their show’. I’m glad that I don’t have that ‘burden’. I know I would do the exact same if I owned a TV because when I see an advertisement for a show I think, ‘Oh, gotta tune-in for that’, but then realize I’m not working that night so I’m not going to see it. Oh well!
