The info you presented in this article is overwhelming...great changes have occurred so rapidly. It is a bit difficult to absorb all that is happening. Life was much simpler sixty some years ago. I was a stay-at-home mother, uninformed and happy... watching I love Lucy. In 1977, I realized that TV was robbing me of my time... I didn't want to become a manipulated brain-washed couch potato. Its amazing how much one can accomplish by giving up TV and focusing on something more meaningful.

So very true. Years ago, as a new REALTOR®, I gave up TV and became the top money earner for the company I worked for. I was not # 1 in sales; but without TV my business was profitable and, when I became a Broker, I ran a tight ship, listed and sold houses, and made money.
