Prompt 2.
I believe that television is a great form of easy
entertainment. It requires nothing of the person being entertained other than
to watch. It is not always the most educational, nor the most useful, but it is
a good, easy way to be entertained.
Television’s ability to conveniently advertise has decreased
because of DVRs and Netflix because they allow you to skip the commercials and go
right to your show. However, most Americans still watch normal television as
well and do sit through the commercials while waiting for their show to come
back on, so advertisers still get their message out to most Americans.
Watching TV is sometimes used as a way to procrastinate and
watch useless shows about the Kardashians, but it can also be used for good
reasons too. TV can provide educational resources to children and adults alike.
This summer we had to watch a documentary for English and Netflix proved to be
an amazing resource to find a documentary. Also, if you’ve had a bad day
sometimes you simply need something to cheer you up and your favorite show
could be the one thing that could make you laugh. Or if your boyfriend broke up
with you and you watched hallmark just to cry and feel a little less alone. TV
shows emotion and can touch people in a way they need.
