speaking of the internet and tv, here is an article from the latest edition of the Pentecostal Evangel:

Web Use Rivals Television

Surfing the Internet now rivals television viewing as a pastime, according to a recent IBM survey.

Nineteen percent of respondents said they spend six hours or more per day on personal Internet usage, while only 9 percent reported spending that much time watching television.

The survey found 66 percent viewed between one and four hours of television per day, while 60 percent spend that amount of leisure time online.

"The Internet is becoming consumers' primary entertainment source," says Saul Berman, a spokesman for IBM Media and Entertainment Strategy and Change. "The TV is increasingly taking a back seat to the cell phone and the personal computer among consumers age 18 to 34."

The survey included respondents of all ages, with more than half 35 and over.

Well, I thought about putting the tv one and maybe the one about the internet on a separate thread but I didn't want another argument about tv or one about tv and the internet being as evil as one another.

Trying to decide whether to vote for this or not, so I need some clarification. Am I correct that this will apply only to our "homes"? If so, no biggie. So long as I can keep the one in my cabin and you're not seriously expecting me to put a blanket over it when I am visiting family members who happen to have a PC in the guest room, then we're good to go!

The cell phone issue, of course, is a lot more complex. Perhaps we could permit usage of two-way radios, or better yet allow usage of cell phones only if they have been "altered" so that they cannot receive pictures or video.
