Why I Think Not Owning a Television Makes Life Better
I don’t own a television or have internet at home.πΊ I do have a smartphone but I get most of my news from the radio or podcasts that I download at work or on the wifi.
I prefer to get my news and entertainment not by the screen but by listening.Β π» Radio is kind of special – with no pictures you have to use your mind to fill in the details. You don’t have the prejudices that images put in your mind, your free to imagine the characters as you see fit.
You can bring a radio virtually anywhere you go. It’s safe to use while driving. Headphones allow you to use on the bus and in most public places without distracting others.π§ Radio can take you to far away lands without ever leaving where you currently are.
Even when I get older, settle down, maybe finally own land and the off grid cabin of my future, π I highly doubt I’ll ever have television or Internet at home.
