TV Ownership May Be Good for Well-Being

In most countries the world over, Gallup data show that people who have televisions in their homes report greater well-being than do those who do not have televisions in their homes.

... The beneficial effects of owning a TV hold up even after taking into account many of the desirable things that often go hand in hand with TV ownership, including wealth and access to electricity and running water. Gallup noted that “even when comparing people with identical incomes, TV owners still enjoy higher levels of well-being and optimism.”
