How much television do I watch?
For me personally it all depends on my schedule. In the past few years all of my free time was occupied with watching TV. During the school year the hours I spent in front of the TV were drastically reduced. Most of my time was filled with school, homework and extra circulars. While during the summer I would spend every waking moment I had in front of the TV. Once school ended and most of the things I was involved in also ended. There were some days were I could easily watch 14 hours of TV. Looking back it is disgusting how much time I wasted on the couch in front of a television. It became so bad, that I could repeat every commercial, TV show, and even tells you the daily scheduling for each channel. But that was back when I was in 8th and 9th grade, instead of watching that much TV I use my time to read. When I was younger I couldn’t read very well, so I would try to avoid it as much as possible. I found that I really enjoy reading and it is so much heather then sitting in front of the TV. Today I usually will only watch about a two hours of TV during the school/ work week, and during the weekends four hours of TV a day.
What do I watch?
Even from a young age the shows I watch haven’t really changed. All my life my favorite televisions stations were the Food Network, ABC Family, TLC, Animal Planet, and Disney Channel. I have a little sister so Disney, Nick, or Cartoon Network is usually on. My favorite shows are usually on ABC Family, such as Pretty Little Lairs, Jane by Design, Switched at Birth, and The Lying Game, as well as Dance Moms on Lifetime and Glee on Fox.
How many televisions are in my home?
In my house we have three televisions, one in our living room, one the man cave, and I have a small one in my room. My house is a small three bedroom ranch, so we are always in the living room together as a family. We do usually watch TV together every night before going to bed; it gives us some family time by talking about our day, and reconnecting after a long day.
What are the positives/negatives associated with watching television?
I believe that there are many positives to television. In my house it brings us together and we get to spend time with one another. As well as providing something to do while relazing from a stressful day at school at work. Televisions also hold many negatives. Instead of going out and doing active things, most people would rather stay in and watch TV. Televisions also are the center of our world. It is what the media revolves around, and can create an unhealthy environment. Over all everyone is different when it comes to their habits with watching TV. I do thing that televisions can be a great thing, but it is something that should be limited.
