Television
I am not what you would call a huge television fan, but I enjoy certain stories they offer. Unlike a majority of people I know, I am not a sports fan, I prefer my news in type, not hype and I am entertained by commercials. That being said, the television is a distraction, a regulatory device with weather alerts and a source of short bits of entertainment. My husband and I have gone for years without it, and then with the very basic five channel cable. Now that it is more readily available, we tend to watch more of it, but only in the evening.
