Turn off your TV
Comments (5) Published September 25th, 2006 under GeneralThe Nielsen Media Research (the company that tracks what people watch and provides the rating numbers) said that the average household has the TV on 8 hours and 14 minutes each day. This is up 3 minutes from last year. That’s a hard working TV. Considering that we sleep something like 7 or 8 hours a night and we should be in school or working for 6 to 8 hours a day, it seems like we fill up every other “free” minute by having the TV on.
This all makes sense to me, considering when you have 8 gazillion channels, you really do need to have the TV on for that long in order to catch all those channels. I don’t know about your household, but the TV is probably on (sometimes it’s just to have noise–afterall, I am an extrovert who likes noise!) a little more than it should be in my household.
I’m just glad Layla is not into TV yet. She doesn’t really care to watch, and there is no show that she is hooked on. But, there is this one commercial she goes crazy over. Enjoy!
