I haven't had a television since 2005 and I think it suits me just fine. I left my old television with the house I sold on the other side of the Villages and I embarked on a new lifestyle. This is because I felt it had a hypnotizing effect on my brain.
I would start watching it in the early evening to get the news and then it was just one more show, and one more, and one more. Until, eventually, it turned into a nightmare of couch-potato-brain-potato-itis.
I have read somewhere that too much television can promote dementia. Well, that makes sense because just sitting and being inactive, physically and mentally, can cause all kinds of deterioration in general.
