Question of the Day:

If you had to give up either the Internet or Television forever, which would you choose and why?



This, for me, is too easy. I would give up TV in a heartbeat. Not for nothing, but other than CNN, ESPN and shows I like to catch here and there, there's really nothing else to watch on TV. There have been several nights when I turn on the TV and even with DirecTV and its 400-500 channels there ain't shit to watch other than what I have saved on Tivo. With the internet I can watch movies, my favorite shows, shop, Wikipedia random shit, watch porn, talk to my friends and I'd only have one bill to boot!

If force to choose, which would you pick?

tv, because you can watch television on your computer. plus computers do a lot more than tvs. ive never been able to write a college paper on my tv.

Excellent question. I definitely could live without tv. The internet makes a vast amount of information available in a short period of time, decreases isolation (especially important for lgbt youth) and mediates networking and relationship building. Had it not been for the internet, I never would have met one of my best friends.

Easy, right now the TV.

But 10, 20 years from now when the TV set has developed into a more interactive information medium and maybe even become more like a PC but with a bigger and much better screen that I don't have to keep listening to the fan going on and off, I will toss the old laptop into the garbage can.

TV. Although I'm with Curious on what the television will evolve into 10-20 years from now.
