responses and comments:



I mostly only watch the news on TV. I love my computer and spend most of my evenings sitting right here in front of it. Probably not a very good idea when I should be doing something more constructive. [Nonnymouse]

i love my soaps so from 6pm untill 9 pm you cannot budge me off the sofa and god help anyone who interupts me, the rest of my free time is spent on the computer, usually mylotting or other similar sites. [barbie84]


I prefer to sit in front of a computer cause i never can stop moving.. so my being on the computer help me concentrate on something watching the TV is boring to me. [pixiedustforyou2008]

The computer. I feel more in tune with the world. I have friends all over the world and by being online I am able to connect with them. It's a nice feeling because I enjoy their conversations more than my friends here. The TV is great too, but I get more out of being online. [Xdrowninghavocx]


I don't watch much t.v. but when I do its normally in my room on my bed. And I am sitting in front of the computer right now. I am on the computer more then I watch t.v. [sassygirlanne007]

I prefer to sit in front of the computer with the tv playing in the background. I can do more sitting in front of the computer, while setting in front of the tv i feel like i am just setting there. I get made fun of all the time because i can't sit and watch tv. I have to be crocheting or reading at the same time. [pheonixstar1982]

I prefer to sit in front of the computer. I wouldn't be able to concentrate on what I'm doing if I watch the TV as well. Besides I am not really much of a TV person. [joliefille]

It depends on whats on TV and since I don't have a laptop, I will go online, if I am not watching TV. For the most part, I divide my time equally between the two. [sdmoonchild]

I sit in front of both at the same time. However, my TV set is not always on. And, if it is on, usually it is tuned to the weather channel or some other "background" channel, where I can pay attention to it when I want to, or tune it out. I also love watching Comedy Central. Like you, I use a laptop, so I have that option. [Valenas]

Its weird because my brother and I just had this debate on why my broke friend barely could pay rent but bought a flat screen television. He said he would buy one too and I opposed because I would buy a computer if I had to make a choice. I can watch tv and movies from my computer. Do way more things than a television. I rarely ever watch television, the only thing I watch is CSI, cold case very few reality shows. COMPUTER BABY! Its bad because I didn't have internet for two days because of my phone company, and I felt I was missing out so much in life!!!!!!1 [Matrixgyal]

tv programming is boring i prefer the intenet [shoffman2000]

I usually have both of them on at one time. If I have to choose one it is the laptop. I like to sometimes have music on when I'm on the laptop instead of the tv. The laptop really keeps me more entertained than the TV. It is a portal into the world at large. [snowy22315]

i prefer to be sitted and surf in the internet. [patzel88]

I prefer to sit in front of pc coz more information i can get online, i only spend my time on TV at nite, only about 2 hrs a day i think [m_rdzy]

When I moved a few months ago I temporarily lost my internet.TVwas no substitute. Good for background noise thats about it. I was constantly thinking of something I wanted to research on the internet and couldn't. I dragged my laptop to the library, but it wasn't the same. If you needed a little break you had to logoff and hope you'd find a PC outlet available a later. What did we ever do without the internet? [bcreative]

For me i always prefer to sit in front of computer as it can also be used as a TV however i don't watch much TV so i prefer to sit in front of TV. Bye. [nikecold]

My work requires almost 7 hours in front of computer Monday to Friday,so I have more time in front of computers than TV and I began to like it better, to the point extended it until weekends,.Here, I can learn and earn, enjoy gaming and a lot more stuff. Thanks! [anndocs]

They feel similar, but I have to vote computer. And, you can watch tv ON the computer, too! so, there's that. [greensarah18]

i prefer computer i surf internet and enjoy playing games. i watch tv only for comedy saws or some good action or sci-fi movies [sanjayhm]

I always have both on at the same time. [whiteheather39]

me too!I am so glad to have such hobbies like you.It really feel good. [alian818]

Hello dear shamashemnice. I prefer my laptop instead of the TV set. I love to surf online and I love those social sites like mylot and some other ones. I love to communicate and interact with my online friends with my laptop though I also like to watch TV sometimes. [williamjisir]

I would rather sit in front of a TV than a computer or labtop. Usually I like to wind up in front of TV with no thoughts of work and TV relates to it more remotely. May be I shall learn to wind up in front of labtop sooner after reading your responses. [metrobelle]

I rather sit in front of the computer then the tv but I do watch tv while I am on the computer at times. Other times I do get tired of sitting in front of the computer or my daughter wants to play on the computer so I will go in front of the tv or go do something around the house. [mflower2053]

I usually have my laptop in front of the TV and do both. I like having it on in the background even if I am not really watching it. [baileycows]

hi shamashemnice, how are you. I prefer to sit in front of the computer very much. [vimaal]

Computer(laptop), you can watch YouTube and there are some websites which show Series and etc... [Giacomand]

I prefer the computer, because I can do so much here than the T.V. I find more things to do when I am in front of a computer. [cream97]

I sit in front of my laptop in front of my TV also, but if I am unable to both at the same time I usually pick the computer. [tinybop]

hi i m like both its depend on my mode which i like to use mostly like to seat in front of T.V. and i like to seat infront to computer then will do chatting on computer. so like to spend my time on both its one me where i want to spend my time. [mohammedi98]

I prefer both actually...but i like watching TV more than the computer.. [steivene2hot]

Hi shamashemnice, I don't watch a lot of TV, so I prefer to sit in front of the computer. I find that I can get everything I need on the Internet. I do watch some local news and a few shows on TV, but that is about it. Blessings. [Pose123]

My computer and tv are in the same room and the tv is pretty much on all the time. So I do both. My attention is directed more towards the computer with an "ear" to the television. But I will stop what I'm doing on the computer and watch tv for a few minutes. Being on the computer is better than flipping channels during commercials. wink [patgalca]

When Im on the computer I prefer some background noise so will either have the tv on or have music channel on. I dont always watch the tv programme on, I'll just listen to it just so I dont have to sit in silence!! [cinderella2007]

I do both also, but I'm more into facing my laptop than on my tv. My tv is further away because it's big and if I'm facing it my eyes will hurt. hehe [kidjuwee]

I'd rather be on my computer then just sitting watching tv. So when I watch movies and such I usually have my computer with me. It's so excellent having a laptop. :) -------------------------------- Sierra $100-$3500 cash packages to your doorstep daily.

Technically I can watch TV on my computer, so my computer is a two-in-one deal, ha. But I prefer the computer. I'd rather surf the Internet, check e-mail, listen to music, make graphics, etc than just sit in front of the television. I'm not good at being that passive. I need to be active, even if it's not physically, than at least mentally. [goodnightmoon]

I do both - I work at the computer while I watch television - and sometimes I'm cooking and doing laundry while do it! [newtondak]

Ha ha ha... How can you watch both at the same time.. Well i prefer sitting in front of computer, as i can do whatever i want at anytime on my computer, likewise play games, surf, chat, watch any movies at any time. And i dont prefer sitting infront of TV as there are not much things on TV that i like. And you dont get to watch your favourite shows at any time you want , you have to wait for the right time. [venkygec]

my computer is in my lounge, so i can see the tv also.. but i always sit in front of computer, i have everything here, my music, friends around world to keep me company, to talk to and of course mylot.. :)) Maybe if i had a partner i would be sat in front of tv more, watching dvds but i don't find it so much fun sitting on a big sofa by myself lol i get more satisfaction here and always learning something new.. And meeting people all over the world.. [mandykaren]

In general I prefer to be in front of the computer, although I have done the laptop in front of the tv myself sometimes! My exceptions to preferring the computer are 1/when I am going to ride my exercise bike and 2/when I want to sit down with my crochet. These are times when I am more in need of just something to occupy my mind while my hands or body are otherwise engaged. [tentwo67]

I do both. I have a laptop and wireless so I leave it on my coffee table or on my portable desk to use while watching TV from my couch. I love being able to do two of my favorite things: watching tv, and wasting time on the internet. [MrNiceGuy]

I normally sit in front of the computer, mostly because I don't sit in front of the television because I don't have cable or a satilitte. But I do sit at the computer with the noise of my kids watching movies in the back ground. [singlemommy]

I like my computer but I do both. I probably pay more attention to the computer. It's a way of communicating and thinking, whereas the TV, although entertaining, does not take much thought. [nanajanet]

i am often on the computer with the tv on. sometimes there's a tv program i want to concentrate on so i'll watch tv only. other times i want tv but like doing stuff on the computer and then the computer seems to win. sometimes there is something on tv i want to google to learn more about. or check out something the tv recommends. and it's fun when there'll be question on tv and they will to a commercial before they give you the answer. i can look up the answer before they give it. or a magazine program will mention a story they'll cover on the next show. if it looks interesting i can look up the subject on the internet and already know about it before they cover it. [greenglitterturtle]

I like to be in front of my laptop sitting on my porch where it is nice and cool and peacefull while until the kids come running outside because they need something. [m0mmy0f03]

I prefer to sit in front of my computer, because It is more entertaining, and I enjoy sitting at my computer because, It's more entertaining than TV. [notlistening2]

I enjoy both. But sometimes, when I'm home alone, I will do both. I will turn the TV so that I can watch it while I'm on the computer. I hope to have a laptop before the end of the year, than I can just sit in the cough before the TV and working on the laptop in the same time. Have a nice day [bieke81]

I have time for these two items, in the evening, am right infrnt of the TV but during the day it is the computer-as a matter of fact, I love them both! [academic2]

I will always choose the computer over television. In fact I haven't turned the TV on in 18 months. I prefer the computer because you can interact with people, research and stay in touch with family and friends, amongst many other things. Television offers none of that. [kriszelunka]

I really don't have much of a choice sitting in front of my laptop because I have to work sometimes 24/7. Most times if I am home, well then the Tv will be on and I would glance at it from time to time while working. [gtdonna]

Now ya have my number that is the way that I do it to when I;m at home at work I have the TV on but where puter is can't see it but I listen to it [Cajunhellcat]

I generally laptop while I'm in front of the tv. I dont always have it on. I sometimes just laptop without the tv. I dont like to use alot of electricity so I will laptop just about anywhere. I dont think that the laptop battery uses that much electricity so that is really what I prefer. I think that the tv and laptop combination probably uses more electricity than I should consume. [snowy22315]

i prefer computer (laptop) cuz i use lots of parts in my body but the tv feel me boring [TAYSON0076]

I often do so at home. I know that it takes more time to do less of my works. But still at home, I want to do little relax. So, I do not mind. It relieves me from stress. [prasanta]

I like using the computer because there is so much I can do... TV is nice, but you can't guarentee that there is something on. And I hate commericals. [rifat1337]

im doing both in same time coz i have internet tv in my computer :)))) [mafiaspider]

I am with you. I like to log on and read the background of a movie While I am still watching.this way I don't have to wait for the end credits to roll. I can see why the star looks familiar or is this film the directors first film or not. [sarahruthbeth22]

I don't have a TV, so I like sitting in front of my computer, it has everything I need on it, if I want the news, I can get that on the internet, if I want music I can get that on the internet to. [notlistening2]

Hello shamashemnice. I, too, tend to have the TV on while I'm on my laptop. It's just nice to surf the internet and watch TV at the same time. I like TV, though, and if a show I really enjoy comes on, I'll shut down the computer. Otherwise, I tend to lose the details of the program and get frustrated. [PearlGrace]

I am a person which mainly concentrates on educational things so, I feel that whether it as a TV or computer if it is educative I prefer to spend most of that.In Tv Iwill mainly concentrates on Discovery channel [nareshreddy68]

Well I sit in front of my pc and at one site my television is running which I am hearing not seeing and in between I see it.So I prefer both and cannot live without both. I think majority of us is like that. [sunita64]

I prefer to sit in front of my computer rather than my TV its because I got more entertainment from my computer compare to my TV and another thing is I love surfing the net so instead of watching TV I prefer to be in front of my computer. [choiocampo]

Keeping this brief, but the computer. I am not a big tv person these days. I guess if I get cable, I will, but for now, the computer wins hands down for me. [Savvynlady]

I like more sitting infront of my SUPER Laaptop xD [VirulentN3]
