This week is turn off TV week, for some Makers, every week is turn off TV week, but this week is special. Don’t watch TV for a couple days, go MAKE something – Link.
It’s about doing something else with the time spent goggling at manufactured entertainment and having something to show for it.
The complaints I hear are the TV Turn Off proponents are dreary puritans, killjoys who won’t let anyone else have any fun. Whatever. The idea is to think about the choices, to try something different for a week. Lent lasts longer than that, as does any meaningful diet.
That said, I let my overtired children relax with a movie today, rather than try to coax them through their fractiousness.
