Nate Assignment 5

Since childhood I have never been that in to television shows. The main purpose my television serves is to show me basketball and football games. But I don't even watch many of those either- mainly just Michigan State games. I guess the reason I have never enjoyed watching television is that I'm not really doing anything and once it's finished I really got nothing out of it. I would much rather live my life than watch fictional characters live theirs. Not a knock on people who enjoy TV shows, it's just not me. Some shows and movies are different though. They express ideas and are insightful, similar to good music. I fully understand their purpose, they're here to make us think, to give commentary on our life. But I believe it's important to watch them sparingly because there's no reason to listen to commentary on the world around you if you are not interacting with that world. I don't know, I guess TV just isn't for me.
