I haven't had a television since about '95 or so. It started by moving from NL to Canada, somewhere in the bush. We would have had to get sattelite but never got around to it, and after a while we realized that we really didn't miss TV at all. Upon moving back to NL several years later the 'need' to get a TV somehow never materialized.

It's funny though, because people around will be talking about some soap or sports event and I'll literally have no idea what they are talking about.

I'll admit to spending more time in front of my computer than most people spend in front of their tv...
