Television --> Just a wastage of time.
Back some time.... TV used to be one hell of a passtime and sometimes even addiction. I used to watch TV for 4-5hrs. but now, I just find it boring and dull with sooo many ads that I hardly watch half an hour and that too while lunch or dinner. The only shows worth watching are sports matches and Discovery/Animal Planet/National Geographic/History Channel shows and some movies. Otherwise 99% is BS. That serials are a real nuisance. Every serial has almost the same plot with lots of tears lolz. Movies cant be watched coz there is soo much ads. If I sit to have dinner and ads start, they will last till I am done with food :shocked:. Coming to reallity shows.... whats real in them ? Half of that is made up script. Talent Search shows..... sooooooo many talent search shows that you can hardly remember their names leave the participants'. So what do you guys say ? Is TV a waste of time now ? I say yes and strogly beleive that internet and watching movies on PC is much better pass time (not counting gaming as its my passion and most prolly my working feild when I grow up). But for some, gaming can too be a great pass time.

Re: Television --> Just a wastage of time.
Completely agree.
Although the TV viewers may regard Gaming and Surfing the net as utter time pass(Or rather Time wastage) ... But we Digitians dont agree ...
In News also .. Only English news channels show something worth a watch .
Never ever see any Hindi news channel.(As u wil know other things other than actual news).
As technology/PC/Internet is our binding force.
So no use of Poll I think.Nearly everyone is gonna vote for PC

Re: Television --> Just a wastage of time.

For some people you may be talking non sense.... Television is better than wasting time on your pc. Sometimes the ads you get on tv are useful....
I would find it useless to create such threads cause no one can judge people about their thoughts for tv

Re: Television --> Just a wastage of time.
Sansani!Chain se sona hai toh jaag jao!What BULL SH!T?Is a news channel supposed to show such crap?
I watch only cricket matches and some movies(some means very few,otherwise RS zindabad) on TV.Actually I get to watch more ads than the movie itself.Cartoon network has now been bombarded with idiotic cartoons,cheapo chinese ones.
There used to be a time when I used to come from school,switch on the TV and do nothing but watch TV for hours,2-4 hours!This was till I was 11-12 years old.After that all the channels ,cartoon channels which I mostly used to watch got crapped out and I switched to gaming which was and is much more pleasurable than what we get to watch on TV.
Final word-TV is just an utter wastage of time,velle logon ke kaam hain.

Re: Television --> Just a wastage of time.
I don't watch TV at all these days. Sometimes I get a peek at Times Now and CNBC and some Sarabhai vs Sarabhai reruns during dinner, but that's all.
It completely sucks these days,

Re: Television --> Just a wastage of time.
The thing is that choice on PC with high speed internet is much wider than you can ever get on TV. With I have control of what i want to watch and when, something TV can not do, not yet in India atleast.

Re: Television --> Just a wastage of time.
Well the only thing that glues me to TV screen is "The Simpsons" which is hardly aired on Star World now. have to rely on Hulu.com and torrents for that.

Re: Television --> Just a wastage of time.
Ditched TV since my PC came along. Earlier used to be addicted to it. Couldn't live without HBO & Star Movies. The only time when switch TV on is to watch my Divx movies or TV series from my DVD player (hate watching them on my PC).

Re: Television --> Just a wastage of time.
News channels : all biased and total crap .... who wants to hear about some cricket players hair style change when there are other fellow indians are suffering from poverty !!!! News channels are total craps...
Regional Channels : Full of Sh&tty serials , which where neither created to get over by the year end nor created to send any useful message ....
and now the game shows and other things , which used have been based on G.K question , instead they are based on Cinema , Cinema , Cinema ...... What a D%ck Head !!!
Movie Channels: Watch closer , you will see the same movies repeated plenty of times.
Music Channel : just tell me when was the last time you saw a full song on MTV ??? i only see ADs and along with that we have pre planned Roadies show and other nonsense , when they should have been like VH music channel !!!!
V TV is more horrible ... , actually both Suck!!!!
Religious Channel : Should be banned !!!! makes people more ignorant !!! Should be Banned !!
this leaves with sports and educational channels... which are the ones which makes me atleast sit before the tv ... and watch .... not all programs are good... but atleast they are boredom killer...

Re: Television --> Just a wastage of time.
My TV time is reduced to Seinfeld, Friends, Chelsea matches and Cricket. (in that order of priority)
As I'm busy throughout the week days, I watch these only in the weekends.
Other than that, evrything is total BS.
Now that even Simpsons are gone, there is definitely nothing worth watching.....

Re: Television --> Just a wastage of time.
Also don't leave the news channels out.
And also cricket channels, you are no fan of any sports.
May be TV is a big waste for you, a hardcore gamer and geek ! So its a big waste for you.
My Mom and her mom both love the TV.
If games entertain you. TV entertains them.
Me being a career/success oriented guy, games suck for me, big time waste in a make believe world. According to me then you Suck. Go die loser. Time to grow kid.
Life is also game, and its real, win in that game.
Is what i can say ! Now that's how things are. LOL !!
With your new birthday i hope you really do and think logically and wish your more smartness. LOL !
And ! Chill and now take things easy...  ! i was just trying to explain you something !
i don't want to bash a young adolescent more ! who has raw potential for growth !

You won't. Obviously ! You shall With Time.
I don't expect 14yr old kid to understand. May be by 15-16 you should open your eyes. Don't be late, otherwise then competition will kill you. Your chances/probability for that dream life of yours will only decrease unless you change radically.
