Quiet Time

After a long day at work everyone needs a way to sit down and relax. Some time ago someone invented television and more or less decided how we would spend that quiet time. Is TV a good thing, yes. However I think it's gotten a little out of control. What did people do to relax before TV? Its really hard to even conceive. Life with out TV is not possible, but I wouldn't mind trying maybe one year without evening TV. What would I do. Sadly, I would probably go right to my iPad. How about a year with no evening electronics. Now that's scary, but it sounds interesting!
