Re: In the wilderness I'll second that: I don't watch much TV because I'll watch something else on the computer. All in all, though, I probably watch less than five hours a week (TV and computer combined). If I lost my internet connection (and I have), I go nuts. Can't check my e-mail, read the news, prepare for lessons.
It's pretty amazing to think how the Internet has transformed our lives in such a relatively short amount of time. I do think that living abroad affects my dependence on the Internet. It's my primary tool to keep in contact with friends and family, as well as what's going on, back in the States. |
