Comm 229: T.V. Everyone's best friend
I had to work this evening, and as I am sitting in the break room three other of my associates came in. Immediately they started talking about work, but once that was done they turned to the one subject that everyone has in common: t.v. shows. I just find it intriguing that television has become the one subject that everyone can relate to. We all watch far too much of it, love our favorite shows and vehemently detest the shitty ones. So, I wonder what our children will be talking about when they are at work.. because the technology is changing rapidly. Will they be talking about the 3-d adventures they are having, or the holographic programs that have become available to them?

I see what you are getting at and will come out and say that I am definitely one of those people who watches to much TV. Yet the reason may be that in this hectic world something like TV gives us an escape to somewhere else so that we don't have to deal with our own lives. I mean should it take such a forefront position as it does in our lives, heck no, but it does anyways because of that escape that it allows.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting point. It seems strange that television shows are one of the main things that people have in commonm, but I guess it kind of makes sense seeing as there is so much media available to people these days...and with the economic issues and such, I guess TV might serve as a good distraction.
