For the love and hate of television- Sloan Warner

Television provides a great form of entertainment. In this day and age, we have over one thousand cable television channels which is insane considering, when television came out a couple decades ago, there were under ten channels. The television industry has erupted in the recent years with some sports networks making deals in the billion dollars range. It is a major source of entertainment for sports fans, history nerds, and everyone in between. However, I don’t believe that it is great for advertisers. I, personally, just record all of my shows during the week and watch them over the weekend so I can fast forward through all of the commercials. The mute button has also changed the game of television advertisement. With that said, I don’t believe television advertising is worthless in all situations. An advertisement for the Super Bowl is one of the best investments you can make. Some people watch the Super Bowl just for the ads these days. Unfortunately, television can make you much less efficient and some people get addicted to television. There are pros and cons to television, but it definitely is a grand form of entertainment.
