Changing the World: November 21 – Turning Off the Box
Now this is a great suggestion – turn off the box!!!
Yes, this one is all about turning the TV off and doing something else, something better with the time you claw back from the idiot box. That might sound strange to people today – but I enjoy the fact that I don’t watch much television anymore. So much time is wasted in front of the television and there is plenty of other things to do.
To quote a television ad which I believe advertises the virtue of getting out in the world and fishing, etc, ‘that ain’t living.’
Reclaiming time from the box is a great idea.
