The Digital Switchover in Devon

Oh,  we all knew it was coming and I (which is very unlike me)  firmly ensconsed my head in the sand.

Actually, I was joking to a few people that if my TV got stolen, I would not even notice for about 3 months.  haha haha.  (in a cocky jokey manner)

Actually,  I dont watch it.  Not really, not anymore.  I dont want to sound like one of those intellectual snobs but I just havent had the time and besides that, its all rubbish on there anyway these days.   Isnt it?  I used to love Shameless and Desperate Housewives, oh and of course Sex and the City (please tell me if any of those come back on).

I used to though, watch TV.  Loads of all sorts of nonsense  ( I blame it on my student days – why is it ‘endearing’  for students to watch crap and for other people it is ‘mindless nonsense’? anyway, as usual, I digress)  So, some other things came into my life and therefore TV and most of the stuff on there became obsolete, took a back seat as it were.

Soooooo, when this switchy over business came into play; and I was only told this by one of my fellas – ‘Try and turn the TV on’ he says ‘Go on, you wont get a signal’ -  ‘Oh I dont care’  says I, I’ never watch it anyway’.

When he left I kind of went into a little panic.   Oh what if I want to watch something, what if I get bored?  What if, what if?.   Stop.  Actually I spent two years of my life without a TV (yes I was an adult) and no it was not the end of the world.

So I run  in and turn my TV on (the one I have paid no attention to for 3 months) and OMG!!!  it is blank, a fuzz.  Well, the world is over then.  Its scary when you are disconnected,  it really is.  Whats even scarier is that I feel scared that I am disconnected because of a bloomin’  TV!

Now, I went travelling wth nothing more than a backpack, twinkly blue eyes and a  smile for a year.  TV or rather the lack of it did not bother me.  In fact, when I came back I found it very odd that people would congregrate around a box rather than each other.  I have never understood some people’s need for constant noise around them.  I love peace and quiet. I really love peace and quiet.

So, in my panic I managed to contact a very nice lady from the digital switchover helplines ( set up exclusively for people like me :) – she was a doll  and very kind and talked me through the whole thing – setting up the digital box anew etc etc. Thank God for angels.

Anyway, a little analytical thinking was in order here and I assume my disconcertion with the lack of TV was the fact that it was something taken away from me.  We expect these things to be there all the time, in our society, even if we dont want them and feel out of the loop if they are taken away, it feels if we are not part of things anymore.

We may choose to be  a part of these or not but we like the choice and its not nice when we are excluded.  No one likes to be excluded.   Thats my psuedo-psychological analysis on a simple  thing like the digitial switchover.  Hmmmmm.

Now then, I bet you cant wait to come and see me now hey?  hahaha, I am not so deep and serious, honestly – I am a fun bunny – just you wait and see!

Oh and here’s one of those crazy signs to set you off nicely for the week ahead – have a good one!
