Moment of Zen - Television

Hey guys, it's me again...sorry to beg for your attention...I know you hoped to be left alone for a week but that's the way the cookie crumbles ;).

In the following blog entry I will be covering 3 questions that I was given after Lena and me presented our summary on ''Television''. My answers will be connecting the following questions.

The questions are:

1. Is TV really an ’’information – medium’’? Isn’t it more entertainment?
2. Does TV replace newspapers/magazines/books today?
3. Would people go mad if TV didn’t exist anymore? ( just in case…:) )

My following statement might not correspond with your views because it's MY personal opinion:

I think one can say that TV is an entertaining information - medium! The moving images make it possible for us to absorb information without pushing ourselves. It is a lot easier to recieve information this way. The moving pictures and the comments on the pictures contain a certain entertainment - factor. That is why, in my view, TV will replace other mediums such as newspapers or magazines... many people just like to relax after a hard day at work and turn on the TV to get the latest news. Imagine TV wouldn't exist any more...YES, people would go mad because television has become part of people's lives...it is everywhere...I personally could not imagine living without TV because it has become of great importance to me...and not just because of the Simpsons and Family Guy ;)
