watching more tv makes you more unhappy

  • From analyzing 24 years of data collected from more than 45 000 participants, University of Maryland has found that watching TV might make you feel good in the short term, but is more likely to lead to overall unhappiness.
  • activities such as sex, reading and socializing correlated with the highest levels of overall happiness.
  • Watching TV, on the other hand, was the only activity that had a direct correlation with unhappiness.
--- quoted from the article "Happy? Then you're not watching much TV" from today's issue The Straits Times; World.

I think this doesn't exclude watching shows off a computer..
