THE DAY THE TV DIED

Last year, our television broke and we decided not to have it fixed. Could we live without it? I wondered.

You have to understand – my husband and I watched a lot of TV. We turned it on when we came through the door and used it as background music to our life. Of course, I did other things when the TV was on: I cooked , I cleaned the house, talked on the phone, knitted, and read. But essentially, it was a pal for me.

Our TV was on at least seven hours a day and we were fine with that. So when the tube blew, I decided to start a new kind of life.

The very first afternoon after the TV died, my daughter came home from preschool, rushed to get a book, and handed it to me to read to her. She likes stories, and now she wants me to read to her constantly. I also bought coloring books with games and mazes. Slowly, the games went from being a way to pass time to being a genuinely fun family activity.

About eight months after the TV went off, it came back to life, but I didn’t need to become worried; our addiction was broken. We stopped being – as I think TV conditioned us to be – afraid and suspicious of silence. The most disruptive voice in the house was now under our control.
