¿Question #735?
EndersGame: How would you be a different person if you did not have a television?

Woelf: I'd probably feel superior to anyone that did have a TV, and would make sure to remind them of that fact as often as possible.
Szarak: I seldom watch TV, so I don't really qualify for this question.
Felimid: A little different, but basically still me.
arkibet: I'd be playing a lot more board games
rdonoso: I would read more
Kingy: I would be the same, I don't watch tv.
HunterJE: Not by much... mine mostly collects dust.
senorcoo: I'd have to move to England to watch the Premier League.
pakruse: I wouldn't be able to use my Xbox. Other than that, not very different.
Spirit of 70: I'd read more and probably play more solo board games. And probably have more titles for my DS and my PSP.
softflow: All I usually watch are sports, so I'd probably just get my fix online somehow. It wouldn't change me that much except during the playoffs. I'd be grumpier.
Harkonnen13: No I would be different if I didn't have a computer.
kathleenryan: I'd read more.
cgund: I'd go around slugging people who say "oh, I don't watch TV".
bactrian5: I'd read more, play more games, But the question should be "if you did not have a computer"
XanderF: ?I don't have a television?
2ndinBeautyContest: I would be the same person
Yuma75: I don't watch much television......but I would probably play more games with friends if I didn't have it.
matthan: I would play more games.
stray_flux: Not really as I don't watch much TV.
DHEK: I'd probably be a little less-informed about pop culture but would probably have had a bit more free time. I don't watch a lot of TV anyway.
Tegre: I think I'm there.
diemacher: Fewer jokes to tell
Capitaine Grappin: Less time spent on PS2
Asmoridin: I'd go to bed on time, making me more rested, making me less angry, and giving me more time to paint all my damn miniatures.
discoking7: I would perfect my shadow puppetry skills
daveroswell: Id be on the computer even more.
littlekeylime: I'd be much smarter. You know, those things called books...
bigbadsteve: i dont watch that much tv as it is, so i wouldnt be much different at all
zappothedude: I'd read more.
vampywife: that's a tough one to have a good answer for. it could go in the direction of spending more time outdoors, etc., or it could be spending more time on the computer. i'd like to say that i would take positive advantage of it, but there are no guarantees.
heli: Probably just replace it with radio.
Sideburn: I'd have more spare time...
rhysling: Right now I'd be on my way to the store to buy one...

jellospike: I would do more things.
Shade_Jon: I don't have a television.
ssmooth: At this point, I wouldn't be very different, since I don't accept as fact what I see on television and watch darned little of it. If I'd *never* had a television, I'd be very different.
xlorp: Better read, better garden, better filing system.
Cerebus: No.

CharlieWonka: I would read more

Larry Chong: probably read more, study martial arts, &/or play more sports...
Lord_Prussian: I wouldn't play Xbox I guess, but that's about it. I don't really use television for anything else. Oh, watch movies too. So, I guess I'd watch more movies and play more video games at somebody else's house. Or actually, I'd probably just go and buy a TV if I didn't have one since their not too hard to get these days really and there's no apparent reason not to.
der_chad: better read
fredminard: I wouldn't know useless sitcom trivia.
BaSL: I don't watch that much TV, so.

verandi: read more... now if NOBODY had television then maybe these boardgames would be more popular

Randy Cox: I'd have a little more space in the family room. Maybe cluster some chairs and a table for a conversation nook. In truth, the TV is pretty much used only between, say, 9:30 and 10:30 p.m. if a baseball game is on.
leece: My mum might play more boardgames with us if we didn't. :-D

Ivan: I rarely watch TV so I'd be the same.
skrutsch: My house would probably be cleaner.
snoozefest: y
Jern: Even smarter
nexttothemoon: I'd probably watch a lot less televison...I may still have a box in the corner with the word Television on it...but it certainly wouldn't have the same variety of programming...it would be just as good as an actual television on many nights though and I could then water plants on top the television with reckless abandon.
Nomadik: No
2amp: i watch about 10 hours tv a week max. mostly morning news/weather. so, i could live without it ok.
AWildEep: I don't know

funkhauser: I don't watch much television anyway... though I wouldn't be able to play video games, which would be unfortunate.

cornjob: I watch very little TV.
yossarians: I'd read a hell of a lot more

queequeg: no Seinfeld to quote, no baseball to watch...oh no man...not pretty

ynnen: Tough call. I'd have spent more time reading, but probably not been exposed to some very interesting topics that led to hobbies like gourmet cooking.
manowarplayer: More free time.
CortexBomb: I'd say my appreciation for the quirky wouldn't be as high, and my ability to crack random obscure one liners would be downscaled. Overall, not a big difference though, tv really isn't a big part of my life and hasn't been since my early teens
