So am I. I had a TV but threw it out some 20 years ago - no regret  Why wasting a good portion of your life watching/taking other's life...? I "waste" my time with other silly activities 
Cheers
Andi
PS: There are more people than you think not having a TV...

We seem to have made different experiences. I'm not a technology denier - I have my audio equipment etc.
And I see all the sections with huge TVs, especially now with the upcoming Soccer World Championship in Brasil (We go to public viewing here in town when I feel like to have fun in the crowd - no need for a private session ).
But back to topic: Thinking of my social environment, it's maybe 1 out of 20 not having any TV. If this is extremly rare is your decision.
BTW: I looked up the statistics for my home country (Switzerland): it says that about 8% do not watch TV at all (zero hours a day). So, I seem not to be far off See Haushalte und Bevölkerung - Fernsehnutzung[^] - sorry, German only, but the last chart talks for itself.
Cheers

Luckily, the world is diverse . Not to judge that one is better than the other - everyone has to make his decision.
Energy saving is a big topic in Europe/Switzerland, so, having multiple TVs is considered inappropriate to a certain degree.
Enjoy the culture shock

We are not wiser. We just seem to suffer more of the effects...

I have recently bought a house, so at the moment my money has a bigger priority. I guess I will buy a TV but just to connect to any other device. I know I am not going to buy cable, if I want to see a film I will go to the videoteque or just login to maxdome, lovefilm or similars to see it without publicity. See the news somewhen or things like that. If (or when I do it) it will be to have a nice "home cinema" or good screen for the computer.
But as I said, that is not something I am buying right now.
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Last time I answered this question here (NO) I got my smartwatch some days after, so this time I went for the "Probably not"...
Although I didn't actually buy it, it came for "free" with my Note 3, I liked it in the first day...
... then found it useless every other day after that... 
So, unless they actually integrate it with the phone in a useful way, I'll stick with my Omega SpeedMaster or my Tissot Touch!

I can see my kids getting me one of these just to get the laugh of Dad talking into his wrist, not going to happen. "Car 59 where are you"
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I had one as a kid. It was better than the new ones.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.
