== Joint screening ==

50-200 people can watch using a single beamer. This reduces cost of energy, purchase and replacement. It requires a dedicated space. Instead of a beamer a large flatscreen can be used which doesn't require the room to be darkened. If the climate allows for it, viewing could take place outside, a beamer would be used after dark, a flatscreen during the day. This would reduce cost of dedicated spaces. Some special structure should be built to protect the equipment.

Watching films and television together is a good way to form bonds.

=== Reasons for large flat screen television instead of beamer ===

A flat screen doesn't need a darkened room. Therefore it can be operated 
*during the day, when energy is abundant
*outside (or only the audience outside), so less indoor space needed

== Secluded screening ==

Secluded screening is very costly.

== Reasons for no television ==

Saves in cost. Television is well known not to be a source for happiness.

== Reasons for television ==

Television can be important to retain a sense of connection to the outside world. Children may need the information input to optimally develop. Most people agree that they shouldn't watch television, but they do so anyway: when addicted, it is sometimes best to indulge, to overcome it. Watching television can be a way to overcome a low point, or to rest. The way to stop watching television is to get to a point where you don't want to. Using sacrifice to stop doesn't work.
