[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1109751, member: 17843"] You sound a lot like my father. He has a tv, but he rarely watches it aside from the news, and neither of my grandparents had a tv. I can't argue with your stance one bit, so don't misinterpret what I'm asking, but I feel like a tv helps me keep in touch, or up to date with the world a little bit. I know there are all kinds of arguments about news being biased and nothing being real, but I can't imagine keeping up with things in a newspaper only. Do you feel like keeping in touch is no big deal. I consider entertainment to be a part of my culture as well. One day when we are all in a pine box, I'm sure it won't matter whether anyone has seen The Andy Griffith Show, Gunsmoke, The Grand Ole Opry, The Wizard of Oz, or various historical moments caught on film, but I feel like I'm able to keep up a bit more with a tv. I remember that I always thought my grandparents seemed a bit out of touch with reality. I remember that Ronald Reagan had been president for a while, and apparently my grandmother heard his voice on the radio and commented that he sounded different than she had imagined. I thought it weird that hearing the president's voice for the first time was a source of conversation in the 1980s. Perhaps this out of touch thing doesn't matter anyway. As I said, I can't argue with your stance one bit, [/QUOTE]
