When I was single I chose not to have a TV in my apartment. My nephew came over to stay the weekend and freaked out - wondered what we would do all weekend w/o a TV. I laughed and showed him. Went for walks, talked, went to a movie, played board games and so forth.
I also started to read more and sew a few things. Boy, time sure flew by when doing other things other than watching TV.
Now the computer rage/age/disengage from life is around. It kills me to see a mother walking her child and she is on the phone and holding the kids hand. It is so sad because they are missing out of communicating to each other. And so many idiots on the road with the phone in their ear while driving - that's sure is a mistake, especially if you happen to get into an accident and possibly take a life.
I know a teenage who can't put sentences together - his grammar/communications skills.....zero! What a terrible shame.
So, when I say I don't have internet at home cause I am on it for ten hours a day at work, what I am actually saying is that I get outside and garden, weed, go for a walk, talk with my husband, make plans ----
