If you were forced to choose between Books, TV, and Computer which would you let go?

I've already given up TV. It was a natural progression. The programmers for television gave up long ago. So naturally I gave up on TV.

Then there's books. With the dumbing down of America, the books reflect that.

I only use the computer to do my work at home and I use this forum, Facebook for a diversion from work.

At the moment I am reading books that were originally published in the eighties (Robert B. Parker) and love them. I am reading them for the third time. Thank God for a poor memory, they always seem fresh. :) And that was before the dumbing down!

I never put my T.V. on until 4.30 pm. I spend most of the time switching between channels because most things are boring. I love documentaries and shows like Escape to the Country and people doing up old houses.

Yep, my daughter and I are reduced to watching that as well. Nothing like seeing people demolish a house and then rebuilding it! Very satisfactory! This may make me look unmanly <cringe> but we also watch cooking shows together ... and that's about it! Hardly worth all the momey I spend on streaming. I must cancel some of the streamers especially since new contents might not be forthcoming this fall with the writers'/ actors' strike still in full swing!

Books. I can read them on my computer/ipad.

We watch tv together.

Not a chance I’m giving up my iPad. Don’t even consider trying to get it from me. I’m small but scrappy.

So your answer is computer.
I’d pick that also. I can watch movies on my computer if I want, read books, play games, make music, create art. It’s endless. I’d be lost without my computer and how would I annoy , I mean chat , with you guys?
