Is it normal for me to watch 30 minutes of televisions daily?

In defense of television, if you’re watching mindless television, it’s not the fault of the television. There are any number of engaging, thought provoking programs on TV at any given moment. You merely have to be discerning enough to bother to find them. I don’t anyone would suggest that programming like Mad Men or Nova or a Ken Burns film does not engage the mind or stimulate interaction. I think writing off television completely cuts yourself off from an enormous, rewarding outlet for information. Plus, I find that keeping abreast of popular culture is a great barometer for the state of a society, important for relating to those around you.

I don’t even own a TV.

Too many people depend on TV for their entertainment and that’s bad because it’s not interactive, it’s mindless.

in conversations you have to actively listen to a person to respond to them. with reading you have to comprehend the words and use your creative mind to imaging the story etc.

so no, you’re not weird I applaud you.

You could just get your info from being online. Is actually more diverse that way. Plus you won’t get bombarded by commercials. lol.
