After reading Emma's blog post about television, I felt that I could definitely relate to it. Even though some people watch television on a daily basis, I particularly don't. When Mr. Miller said guess how many hours a day that the average American watched, I was shocked that it was 7 hours because I watch TV for 2 hours at the most. I could definitely agree about the amount of political ads on TV because I have seen so much that I can almost memorize them. I liked how she described why ads are so critical to politicians. She basically said that the advertisements discourage people from voting which allowing the candidate with voters, who will vote no matter what, will win. I mean in the great scheme of things, everything serves a purpose, even annoying political advertising. I thought it would also be helpful if we watched a clip or two of old television shows to get a visual interpretation of the impacts of television. We really did not spend that much time on how television progressed over the years and instead focused on more present television. Overall, I enjoyed her post and it was very relatable.
