Assignment 5: Charlotte Kessinger

I rarely watch cable television or even sit down in front of the TV at home. For one I feel like I don't have time and I also enjoy Netflix over cable television. I feel like "TV" is almost a time of the past. It is so easy now days to catch a new episode of something online and watch it for whenever you want. I think that our generation has replaced TV with social media. When I have time to catch up, I would much rather know what my friends are up to via twitter, instagram or snapchat rather than spend time watching reality TV about irrelevant people. I feel like today TV is infested with commercials trying to sell you something stupid. There is usually what feels like 2 minutes of the actual program you want to watch compared with almost 5 minutes of commercials. No wonder people use Netflix! Which brings me to the point that the only point TV still exists is for advertisers to get their messages out to the masses. Other than the news, I feel that TV is a waste of time and there are many other ways for somebody to spend their time.
