Do you consider yourself to be a happy person?
While searching for information for my blog I came across this article which talked about unhappy people and how they are unhappy because of TV! Weird right who ever was to think that to much television can actually make one sad.
A new study by sociologists at the University of Maryland concludes that unhappy people watch more TV, while people who describe themselves as "very happy" spend more time reading and socializing. Analyzing 30-years worth of national data from time use studies and a continuing series of social attitude surveys, the Maryland researchers report that spending time watching television may contribute to viewers' happiness in the moment, with less positive effects in the long run.
"Addictive activities produce momentary pleasure and long-term misery and regret," says Martin likens
So now that you know will you watch less TV?
