An online survey show that over 800,00 household in the US has cut the cord to cable and the high cost of watching television.
I grew up where TV watching was limited to Saturday and Sunday, and only for a few hours each day. The rest of the week no one even bother to look at tv, we are outside playing, reading, the girls crocheting, or doing embroidery on pillow cases or table covers(where did those days go).
Back then children learned social skills, they learn how to disagree and make up and how to get along with each other.
Today, if you ask ten people if they could cut the cord, nine would say no. Why are we so dependable on the media to entertain us when there are so many other things we can do that is so rewarding.
Plant a garden, flower, herbs or vegetable. Join a book club, or start one of your own, you can travel the world in books while socializing at club meetings.
Me I have cut the cord (by force) but I find that I have more time to read, to spend with my partner and is one less bill to pay each month.
