Ever wonder what may happen without television, or how to get motivated to break away from it?

10. Addiction
TV can be addictive and it will be difficult to stop watching it once you start. While most programs only last half an hour, it can be tempting to sit through the next show, on a different channel or not.

9. Repetition
Many TV programs are repeats, while others are just movies that have been around for years.

8. Advertisements
Commercials are manipulative and influence people to buy things that are not mandatory in life.

7. Apathy
People usually just watch because they are either lazy or bored. If you can be properly motivated to undertake worthwhile tasks and turn off the TV, you can get much accomplished.

6. Wealth
Actors and Actresses are grossly overpaid (This point can be applied to all of mainstream entertainment). Even producers an directors make lots of money, but arguably (I’m not saying they always do), they put more work into the production.

5. Not educational
Most programs are trash and offer next to no enlightenment value. Ranging from common shows like Jerry Springer all the way to shows you might not expect, for example, most Primetime Sitcoms. While they do offer a few laughs here and there, nothing is learned from the experience.

4. Time management
The time you spent watching television could be better spent doing other things. You could spend time working, cleaning the house or quality time with your family.

3. No exercise
Sitting in front of the TV on the couch for over an hour is not a healthy lifestyle choice. No exercise could lead to health problems down the road such as fatigue and sleep apnea.

2. No Communication
TV offers no form of two-way interaction (mental nor physical). Everyone watches it all facing one direction and listening to one or a few people talking most of the time. The inability to exchange communication puts the viewer at a great disadvantage. Since the person watching cannot return thoughts, the television can spew false information out on just about anything without rebuttal or debate.

1. Skill-less
All that gets accomplished by watching television is increasing your aloneness. Absolutely no Skills are acquired by watching TV.
