Which would you give up: TV, cellphone or Web

We are now living in an information age, in which TV, cellphones and the Web are widely used. It seems that many people cannot enjoy themselves without them.

However, if I had to give up one of them, I would turn off the TV rather than switch off my cellphone or cut off the Internet. I could do without TV because few shows take my fancy and there’re too many commercials. Besides, most programms on TV are also available elsewhere.

As for cellphones and the Web, they are more necessary to me. I need a cellphone to keep in touch with my friends and family, and almost all information can be gathered on the Internet.
