What if there was no television?

If television was defunct from the modern day world, I cannot imagine what life would be like today. First of all, there would be no actors/actresses, favorite shows, network stations such as CBS, etc. People would have more active lives and would find themselves with much more of an active life. Although some people may feel the absence of television would improve people's lives, the spread of news would flow at a much slower pace. Americans would never be able to grasp current events or be able to watch important figures such as Barrack Obama with his eloquent political speeches. Television may be a time consumer for many, but it is a beneficial resource to society.

If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be and why?

If I were an animal, I would be a falcon because they are the fastest species of bird in the world. Apart from the speed of the animal, I also believe it would be extremely fascinating to have the power of flight. Falcon's are not close to becoming a defunct species, and in fact they are incredible predators due to their sense of smell, sight, etc. A falcon is the animal I would want to become because it flies at over 200 mph and makes a magnificent predator.

What would you do with $100,000?

If I had $100,000 and could not spend it on myself, I would divide the money equally among my family members: mom, dad, and two brothers. Each of them would receive $25,000, a significant increase in each of their wealth. I am a partisan of family before friends, and in this case I also believe that type of gift should be given to the people who you are closest with.
