A couch potato is someone who spends a lot of time sitting or lying down watching television. But now its not just TV, its also the computer. With the internet & all the social networking sites, everyone is hooked on their laptops.
After spending 10 hours in the office starring at the computer- yes starring pretending to be working for some while really working for a few when you get home you log in once again into that machine to check your facebook, play mafia wars, poke pet, or farm town.
Yes, the virtual farm you get hooked on for a minimum of 3 good hours.
Or mafia wars for another 3 good hours.
Oh how much time is left for a good rest?
With technology, even kids now a days are living a couch potato lifestyle. Kids no longer play on the safe streets in front of their houses or in the lawns of their homes.
Yes, they're inside their homes, in the living room playing play station or Wii... in the family room playing computer games... Maybe even in their bedrooms holding their PSP for hours.
Sometime it would take mommy to raise her voice just to stop "Jack" from playing the PSP and have dinner.
The couch potato life starts early be it in tele or new technology such as the internet...
Well, I just had the "couch potato" thought...
Maybe some definition website would update their definitions that it's not just TV... there's so much more...
How about you what kind of couch potato are you?
hhhhmmmmmm...........
