I think this is a funny video, but I'll keep playing FarmVille. Why? I don't have CSI, Desperate Housewives, or American Idol on my to-do list ... so I have plenty of time.
To give you an idea of how much of my life that I have saved up so I can waste it playing FarmVille ... the last television series that I felt I had to catch each week was Dukes of Hazzard. If I think hard enough ... hmm ... I think the year I decided to stop watching TV was 1982.
I do watch some television shows. News and analysis, Jeopardy, and Millionaire. The problem watching Millionaire in particular is I can never get the TV trivia questions right because I haven't watched a single sitcom for decades. None. Zip. I just don't watch those shows. Don't find them funny. Don't find them interesting.
I have watched Monk and Firefly ... thanks to Netflix. I didn't really watch them on TV.
I know people that spend upwards of a third of their life watching TV. I have all those years banked so that I can waste time playing FarmVille with no guilt.
Mostly I like the cute little animals. I wouldn't be interested if it wasn't cute.
But, it has occured to me that FarmVille (and similiar games) is bringing people together from all over the planet with regular and positive interaction.
Cute post!
