what would life be without tv and movies and video games? - Page 2

*Masked Ninja* · 03-26-2006, 04:22 AM

So long as I have paper and pencil, I should be OK. I mean, I'd miss all this *gestures sweepingly at all the Internet around* but I'd survive. Maybe go running more often... get out and DO stuff.

If it was just TV... I would be immensely sad every Saturday because there'd be no TMNT. But otherwise, I don't watch TV anyway.

Actually, if you were to think about it, we all would survive, because nobody ever discovered TV, Internet, Radio, ect, so nobody would complain because we've lived with it for so long. It would just be natural to live without electricity

My life would be FAR less complicated without that stuff. I don't play video games much anymore, and I don't watch TV much anymore, but without the Internet I wouldn't have friends from Ireland to Australia and the bits between.

I'm assuming you mean we'd lose the entertainment side of the Internet? Because it would take forever to do research without it, and research/WORK is part of why it was originally developed. Ask Al Gore.

Personally I think the world is better off with television. It's educational.

That's basically how I am. I don't NEED Internet, but it's cool to talk to friends from everywhere.

Ahh, educational TV. Besides TMNT, Nova and Nature (woo PBS!) are my favorite shows.

Aww...thanks Iris. That really did make me feel warm and fuzzy inside

But yeah...who would've guessed this was intended for military intensions when they first heard about this thing called 'internet'. Technology is an amazing thing

Hahah... I remember people saying, "some day everyone will have 'personal computers' in their homes." And me thinking, "yeah RIGHT, THAT's gonna happen."

We have four.

I'd probably ride my skateboard, draw, read comic books, and get out more often. Maybe even hang out with my friends a couple times a week and get more things done during the day. I'd do more ninja training instead of watchin' TV or goin' online. That would be fun and I could just jump out of nowhere and fight people.

*XERO* · 03-27-2006, 06:43 PM

Sorry to burst your bubble, c-14, but how are you gonna make a movie if there's no TV and/or computer?

That's the real horror.

*Duke* · 03-27-2006, 07:05 PM

Maybe he could turn it into a play.

I could do that, but I'd much rather make it a movie cuz that was my original intent. I have no idea when I'm gonna get together with my friends to make the movie cuz they're always busy.

*XERO* · 03-27-2006, 09:38 PM

Yeah, plays will work.

I'll do the curtains for ya.

*cowabunga14* · 03-28-2006, 09:57 PM

Thanks, Ben. I'm sure you'd come in quite handy for operating the curtains. I'll let ya know when I need you.

*XERO* · 03-28-2006, 11:29 PM

Maybe I can be the director and go all Colin Mochrie.

"That was CRAP!"

*iris* · 03-29-2006, 12:43 AM

Colin Mochrie rules.
