A mysterious power makes you destroy forever either your TV or your Computer (with Internet). Which one do you keep and why? Another thread I was in prompted me to see how others choose.

My choice:
Keep the Computer. I hate TV anyways. If something on TV really interested me I could eventually find it on YouTube or something. Also I can't order all my goodies from a TV, well unless it's Liberty Mutual diabetic supplies or that swag off of QVC (are they still around?)
So yeah, smash the TV for sure.

That's easy - the TV goes. Not even a difficult decision. I don't watch much other than CNBC and sports anyway, and I could get that all online if I had to. Most TV today is just mind numbing crap anyway.

Internet is quickly becoming a source of TV and not the other way around. Internet stays, for sure.

I usually watch TV WHILE I am on the internet. But I could get the same programming and movies on the internet if I had to. Therefore, NOTHING trumps my internet. I would give up my car and take a bus before I would give up my internet.

The TV would go for sure. I rarely, if ever, watch it.

Goodbye television. That one is nowhere close. Especially as I run a website.

TV for sure. I can spend hours on the internet and still be entertained and I get bored watching TV quickly these days.
