Life without the box. Could you live without a TV for one year? What would you do with all that spare time? Philippa Curling wanted to see if it was possible and persuaded her family to give theirs up for one whole year.I live with my husband and our two children," explains Philippa, "and I realized just how much time we spent sitting in front of the TV. The children switched it on first thing in the morning and again when they got back from school. My husband and I were no better. We'd spend the evening together talking about very little other than what programme was on at the time. But then the family decides, after lots of arguments, that we would try to do without it for one year. We had the Internet and everyone was allowed to watch some of the recorded programmes if they had a good reason for doing so'. And so, on 24th July last year, the Carling family sold their TV. Eleven months have now gone by and Philippa believes the experiment has been a great success. As she explains: "We were all surprised at how easy it was. The immediate result was we all started to read a lot more, including the children. We spend time together after dinner playing board games around the table and the children finish their homework a lot quicker than before. We talk about what will happen when the year comes to an end and the children have always said they want the TV back. But they've also admitted that life has been good without it'So will the TV return when the year comes to an end next month? 'We're not sure,' says Philippa. We might decide to buy a new one or we might not. The important thing is we've all learned that life can carry on without one. It can even be fun!'.
