everyone has their own thing but i'll say it's not like i totally did not watch tv. but it was a healthy mix. i feel that the internet and myspace and this shit takes up way too much time. when i was like a kid kid like in elementary and junior high school i played a lot of baseball and hockey and sports and played with my friends outside but i also watched tv but i feel like it was different back then. worldwide ADD wasn't as much. I loved the late 80's early 90's shows like saved by the bell, a-team, knight rider, disney afternoon, charles in charge, etc. etc.
i'm a big early 90's guy as you can tell and tv was a big part of my life especially since i wasn't born in america and came here in first grade it helped me kind of figure out what's going on. but as i got older things got more serious and tv took a back seat. the point here is that tv is good and stuff but for a limited time. nowadays kids have WAAAAAY too many things going on and i just feel bad for them. while the information age definitely has its pros it also has its cons. i feel like kids growing up today and in the future are detached from like human things. everything is technological and instant and everything is at your fingertips and people lose the essence of just being in good company. you always need to do something because you are used to pop ups, myspace, facebook, everything you can imagine on your cellphone. i don't know, that's just me.
