NHK TV license

Today morning NHK guys came to my house. Obviously i am not paying the TV license, but then why should I? I don’t watch TV anymore, leave alone NHK.

that brings me to think about how I moved from the traditional media to the digital media. I spend a lot of time in front of my computer reading blogs, joining discussion forums, watching videos and listening to podcasts. I am now having the power to see & read what I am really interested in, and i have no intention to revert that trend.

I don’t trust TV anymore, or at least i came to realise that TV is not a trustworthy source of information. Most TV programs seem to be biased, or at least the Japanese ones. I somehow agree that TV companies have to generate revenue, but nowadays, programs are made just to promote sponsor’s products and services! they are no longer interested in providing valuable information & staying neutral (if they ever did). more than that, people are falling for their pray & blindly believe in everything they see on TV! my wife included!
