Living without a TV

Almost every family today has a TV, in fact probably more than one, and people everywhere spend hours watching it. But a few families choose to live without a TV because they think there are advantages.
The first advantage is that families spend more time talking to each other. Secondly, they spend more time doing more creative things like reading or painting. Thirdly, they spend more time outdoors, and are usually fitter.

On the other hand, there are also disadvantages. For example, children who don't have a TV may feel different from their school friends, and often won't know what they are talking about. Also it is not true that all TV programmes are bad. There are also good ones, like documentaries, and people who live without a TV may know less about what's happening in the world.

In conclusion, although living without a TV has some advantages, I think today it's unrealistic and that we should just try to turn the TV off when there's nothing good on.
