The Samsung 4K S Ultra-HD Smart TV lives up to the compelling expectation as suggested
by its name. The curve design of the television is one of numerous features
that could make you jump to the moon. Seriously. Today’s television experiences has more
pizzazz- with the aid of higher resolution displays and better connectivity-
that brings viewers closer to the source. Therefore people will always have a
special bond with their TVs because this form of mass communication is a
central aspect of our American lives.
But greatness has always been parallel with sacrifice, and
so it’s time people recognize the sacrifices being made before the new innovations wipe out
our cherishable qualities.
TV has completely changed the dialogue amongst people, families and friends. The topic of discussion has progressed from a single TV set for an entire street, to the number of TVs in a household and now the “smartness” of a TV. In some instances, the television set is the blame for the nonexistent dialogue which results to couch potatoes- people who have sacrificed the exchange with the world for an interactive “smart” screen. Back in the 1960s when there were simply three TV channels (NBC, ABC & CBS) displayed from a cumbersome TV, at least children had the opportunity to live a full childhood of running, jumping around and interacting with nature.

As we deepen our relationship with TVs, we trade off our
uniqueness and creativity in the long run. TVs are filled with commercials and
shows targeted to follow the masses, which is quite cult-like. It is obvious
that modernism is driven by ingenuity, and if we continue to allow the ongoing
brainwashing we are setting the young generation up for failure, as they will become unequipped to solve arising issues.
The issues of TVs cannot be swept under the rug no more. We
have a small time frame to protect the key values that are the reasons of our
existence.

I really like the style of your writing. It is easy to follow and the usage of the links is amazing! You really used the blog tools well. As for the content, I like how you got to the point quickly and drew the readers in by including a bit from the present. The picture is also a rehtoric itself so it adds to the meaning of your post.
ReplyDeleteI think your argument is fascinating. I agree with the point you are making and find it hard to believe that something that was called an "idiot box" at its inception has grown to such a widely used machine. I also agree with the fact that watching TV is not a constructive habit and people would do much better to put their time to use elsewhere. However, unfortunately, I cannot see society's use of TV going down. It is extremely popular and addictive, and people would strongly resist the change.
ReplyDeleteJust as Krishna said, I really like your style of writing and how it flows really well! But since you're questioning "Is television heading in the right direction?", maybe discuss how families responded to the media presented by those three channels in the 1960s. Did these channels still present news in a biased manner?
