One of my favourite things to do as a child was watch TV. I would have watched even more if I was allowed to because it was something I couldn’t get enough of. I thought that a world without the TV would be a strange place and if anyone told me they didn’t watch it I used to think they were very strange. Now thirty years later and my life has taken a strange twist. I don’t actually own a TV anymore.
Now before you get the wrong idea let me explain. I am not a member of a back to nature group nor am I now doing things that require more intellect. I am still loving watching television programmes these days and I think I might watch more than I ever did but I do not watch them on a television anymore. I have become hooked on internet television and this is the way that I watch all my programmes. The great thing about online TV is that I can watch the shows I want when I want, where I want. It is even possible for me to catch up with my favourite shows in the morning while travelling to work. Although I shouldn’t really say this, I have watched online TV while I was supposed to be working.
There are a number of people who feel that it is not possible to get the same enjoyment while watching TV on a computer screen but I vehemently disagree with this. I have a nice large LCD monitor on my computer and the picture is crystal clear. I also get great audio because of the sound system I have with the computer. The picture and sound quality is not as good when I am out and about with my laptop obviously, but I couldn’t exactly walk about with a television set under my arm. For me, watching television programmes on the computer is great so I won’t be buying a TV set anytime soon.
Since its beginning, the world-wide-web has allowed us to enjoy so many things. We are capable of doing things such as shopping, sending e-mail, looking for and finding information – and so much more besides. Probably the most favourite thing to do though is watch movies online for free.
