Turn your tv off
So many channels, so little worth watching! Do you sometimes find yourself
muttering those words? Next week is TV Turnoff Week ( http://tvturnoff.org )
so give that TV a well-deserved rest, and instead say: So many books worth
reading, so little time!
People in the US watch TV for more than four hours a day. That's equivalent
to sitting in front of a TV for two full months nonstop every year. It's not
for nothing that TV has been called the plug-in drug, the boob tube, and the
idiot box. For more, see factsheets: http://tvturnoff.org/factsheets.htm and

It's time to redefine television, from Greek tele- (far) + Latin vision-
(view), as something that deserved to be seen far, far away. Instead, get
closer to books. Cut your screen time and increase your page time.
