You should definitely get yourself over to IAmJoshBrown.com and check out his most recent post on consumption:
I don’t watch television. The only show I watch is LOST. So maybe 2 hours a week. Tops. I tell myself I’m an intellectual and that I’m a better person for reading books rather than watching American Idol or Dancing With The Stars or insert any other reality show here. I am a saint. I tell myself this myth to make me feel better about my self. It’s a shame that we bought a $600 flat screen HD television to watch LOST and play the Wii. And I spent more time on my computer than 10 average people combined. I am a hypocrite. I am my own worst enemy.
I don’t think this post needs you to comment. But have a read of the whole post, and it’s worth taking a really good look in the mirror on this stuff.
