Chelsea Avery- Assignment 5

If there's one thing I've noticed about the media, it is that people like to be distracted. After a long day, not many people are looking forward to being reminded of the horrors of the world. I won't lie, I do the same sometimes. I opt to watch my favorite soap opera over the nightly news. But every now and then after watching too much television, I begin to feel like I'm being brainwashed or I'm wasting my time. At one time, I did watch Netflix quite often. But with a very busy junior year, I've found that it just isn't worth my time, and guess what? The world didn't stop turning. This is why I don't watch television right now. This isn't to say I never watch TV though, because I do enjoy sitting down to watch the Office or That 70's Show. I guess the sporadic nature of my Netflix watching is why I gravitate towards such easy-to-watch shows.
