is that not the whole point of the experiement? draw your own conclusions from the interest in the amount of people who are viewing the thread and the lack of volunteers participating in the experiment
and people think there's something wrong with me because i don't have a tv. lmao

Is it possible that TV addiction is not a biggie with ATSers to begin with? In all honesty, it is on all day in my home occupying someone else, and I am on the other side of the house at my computer, which I'm not so sure is all that much better.

if it is no 'biggie' then you should have no problem with getting the other members of your household to participate in the experiement and switch it off for a month. After all, you would fit perfectly into the choice 1 catagory as the tv is on all the time in your household.
no biggie? we'll see....

yes. we're now on sunday & the superbowl will soon be over. i'd just like to mention at this point that ever since i heard about this experiment many years ago, i have asked so many people to try it out and do you know what? - i never had ONE SINGLE PERSON who agreed to try it and then did it!
like you, i thought that this place would be perfect to find a handful of people willing to take a little time out of their lives in what some of us already know is a worthwhile experiement from many different angles.
all i can say at this point is that i'm sorely dissapointed to see so many people who proclaim to 'deny ignorance' and will still carry on doing so long after this thread is forgotten.
and now for a commercial break...

I'm still on board if it is still worth doing without all 3 people.
Unfortunatly, I am contemplating throwing myself of of the Walt Whitman bridge right now beause the Eagles lost in the superbowl, so I don't know how many days I can be relied upon for. I have not wathed TV since the game ended, so if I should stick with it let me know.
