No News is Good News
May 16th, 2008 by Daniel Priestley
Most television is a waste of time but this video confirms that the News has become a pitiful waste of time.
An average adult in Westernized countries watches four hours of television a day. We are only awake for 16 hours a day and most people work for at least half of that. This means more than half of peoples’ leisure time gets absorbed into this vacuum.
Until networks and news sites change, absolutely nothing good can come from watching the news.
Instead of watching the news, why not:
1. Meet-up with friends you haven’t seen for months
2. Excercise your body
3. Read a book, listen to music, listen to personal development programs,
4. Cook a meal
5. Learn a new skill (Dancing, Kung-fu, Painting)
6. Volunteer your time at a charity
7. Make the news!
