We are one week away from moving into a new house and the question keeps coming up, should we buy a TV now or later or ever? In 2018 it's a question that people think about because of how technology has advanced. What do we need a TV for?
Sports? My teams are 600 miles away and if I really wanted to watch something I could "stream" it, if I knew how to do that. Occasionally one of my teams may be on TV, but is that really worth it? Probably not.
Regular TV shows? We're down to watching one of two each week because not many of them interest us. We can watch them online the next day or next week or whenever. Some of the networks now have "old" TV shows you can watch online and I may do that although "Moonlighting" and "Remington Steele" are not available right now.(shows from a long, long time ago)
News? Forget it-I haven't regularly watched news in decades and I haven't missed anything. I can read about all the so called "news" online and can easily spot "opinions" that are not news.
It's going to be odd to be in a house without a TV, but right now it looks like we're going to just skip it. I'm not sure we're going to miss it either, but maybe one day we'll buy a TV for our new house. Maybe it won't be a new house anymore?
