britexpat said Television CAN have negative influence, but there are also lots of positives ... the list is endless"

- Yeah, soooooooo many benefits. I travel vicariously via the travel channel, save loads of $$ and only choose to spend my hard earned money on selected destinations. Learn lots from my TeeVee. Also aids in studying boring subjects, as evident in my exam results.

Before I landed here, only 2 items specified as necessities - rice cooker and TV, nothing else. No bed, no problem, can sleep on floor, as long as there's a TV.
