TV: Can you live without it?

          I was about 2 years old when I first became aware of the enchanting spell this black box cast on me as I sat on my thinking chair and searched for clues in the form of paw prints. Each press on the controller opened my eyes to new adventures to see! I have been to a land before time where dinosaurs roamed the earth, I've eaten cookies with a monster at sesame's street and I've had sleep overs with three bears and two bananas. 

          But as I grew up, I discovered that this magic box isn't just for seeing exciting things but also a secret portal to a whole new dimension! I started to learn that mushrooms make you taller whilst turtles make u smaller or that hedgehogs are really fast runners and whatever you do, you must never let the squiggly colorful ghosts catch up to you. Eventually, I tried to sought more action - still through my magic box a was able to do slam dunks or a 200 hit combo against wolverine or Hawkeye. I grew up alongside my trusty black box - be it a 14 inch miniature set or a 21 inch flat screen. I didn't care as long as I could go on my adventures. 

          However, as adolescence hit, my magic box didnt seem as magical after all. It wasn't portable so I couldn't bring it around, nor was it capable of multitasking and I had to plug so many things for it to function the way I wanted it to. Slowly, I started deviating from my old pal. Nowadays we rarely get to spend time anymore.

          Looking back, I could say the TV was a huge part of my childhood but it doesn't have much impact to my life right now. As technology advanced through the years the things I enjoyed before with my beloved TV has been outdone by newer, smarter and sleeker gadgets. 

          Suffice it to say, I'm certain that I can live without the good ol' television. Computers, however are a different story. But never will I forget the adventures that I had with this black box. :)
