Watching Fair Go and Sunday as the deadline looms. Plus: a new documentary about K-Pop and belonging, three great comedies, and the very best Oscars coverage.
Do not need television in our lives, at all. Radio, magazines on line from the library with Libby, books, and conversation. News details from "items that interest us" are from laptops, tablets, phones, and neighbors. Do not need television. ABC Australia is ok, free of intrusive advertising.
Some years ago we purchased an expensive, large screen television. Watched some shows for a time, before realising that the screen was taking us over. With what we mostly knew anyway, from phones, laptops, tablets, etc al. Haven't switched on that big screen ever since. There's a life - a good life - outside of television. A life of activities inside and out, a life of reading and conversation. That big screen is going to a new home, s worthy cause, where it's needed.
