The least intriguing form of mass media for me was television. For the most part because it stole many of the transmitting devises and it did not give any recognition to any of the inventors. Especially to Howard Armstrong.
Television went on to market to the video audience and it killed the radio star. So MTV says, that television killed the radio star, but that was not true. Radio, has many recording stars and many of them are given credit.
Television does not seem to have any morals. Cable television came into existences and charged for the use of transmission. Antennas are obsolete. Television does not pay their writers. Television, in my opinion exploits their viewers, producers and writers.
Television needs the writers to air a situation comdey. Some of the situation comdies are not all that entaining.
Occasionally the writers and the producers write a winning show such as the Gilmore Girls or Two and Half Men. But the majority of the time the shows are not funny or entertaining.
Now televisions wants me to go out and purchase a box or a digital television set so that I can have digital broadcasting. Television can keep the digital broadcast and the plasma television sets because I am going to watch my DVDs that are already recorded and they are free.
Television does not have excellent programming. Television keeps on exploiting their viewers. It is a very greedy mass media outlet. Television's biggest mistake is thinking that the American people can't live without it.
The biggest reason why people have to borrow money or have money sent to them by wire is to pay the cable bill. I think the American people ought form alliance and protest against all forms of new television technology. When our television sets become obsolete we ought to throw them out the window and never replace them.
That is kind of drastic because mine still works. I am going to sit in front of my obsolete television set and watch my DVD recordings, because my husband put all my VHS on DVD.
I refuse to upgrade my television set and then still be charged to use it. Television is just not ethical. Television has a great potential to entertain and educate. It just does not do what is capable of doing.
Good luck on all your finals and have a great week and I will see you on Friday. Enjoy.
