Internet,Radio,Television,Video Games....TOO much choice?.

Paddy Samurai

Home Entertainment! TV,VideoGames,Radio/radio streaming,mp3 players,Internet,Music cds,DVD'S/on line movies,etc,etc.

When ur at home and not out & about who the hell has time for all these things?.For years at home I was a big music listener ,only listened to radio in car or at work.Does anyone listen to radio at home?,I never have time.
When i had time at home spent about 20% music ,30% tv & 50 % video games.but now don't have as much spare time ,its 50% internet,10% TV and the rest video games.Hardly get a chance to watch a DVD(and the list of films i want to see is getting longer) .With all these options for home entertainment along with future technology it looks like people are going to be as busy at home deciding how to entertain themselves.Now i'am thinking about one of those Kindle Gadgets that holds all the books.
Its funny in a way but nowdays with all the home entertainment choices it hard to decide what to do next?.Big difference from our parents times.

Myself & my boyfriend have every version of playstation, nintendo, i pod, wii etc.
If I use them once a year that would be about it.
I generally pass my time reading, designing & sketching.

I talk to people, family, friends, neighbours, politicans at the doorstep. I know it's not everybodies cup of tea but as a home entertainment I find it quite stimulating, entertaining and educational.
Oh and painting Mrs. Goats toenails, thats another favourite way to pass an evening - in a non-sexual way as stipulated by the OP.:rolleyes:

In your interface modern entertainment systems!

If you honestly examine what you get out of each of these things you'll find that you could drop a lot of the activity and substitute it with something else. Watching TV, surfing the net and listening to the radio are all cool provided there is something worth watching, surfing or hearing. Yes, in a way, we're spoilt for choice in the amount of distractions we have but the amount of quality distraction is probably stil around the same level.

Coke and hookers are for the regular mods. It's whole different level of fun fun fun as a cmod!

Yeah there is definetly too much choice these days. I think the only sensible thing a person can do is say "right, there isn't enough hours in the day to take this all in" and then limit themselves to the ones that give themselves the most enjoyment or the most benefit. In this regard I have cut out computer games, radio and to a lesser extent internet (in work now so it doesn't count ).

Don't see the problem with having lots of choice, unless you're indecisive. (yeah, I used to be, but I'm not so sure now)

Today's choices surely beat yo-yo versus hoop & stick.

Surely people choose the activities that they enjoy, and disregard the rest?

Anyway, get your pasty face out in the sun for a while. It's free, and your body will thank you for it.
