Does TV provide a good form of entertainment? Is it just a convenient delivery system for advertisers to send their messages to the masses? Is it an inane use of time? Can it be all three?
TV provides a wonderful form of entertainment, is an extremely convenient delivery system for advertisers, and yet is a very inane use of our time. The programs and shows that are shown over television are great at providing entertainment, whether it be a comedy show, an intense action show, or a sad dramatic show, it entertains the audiences thoroughly. It also is a great way for advertisers to get their messages across. 36% of the average-hour long show, is commercials and therefore advertisers can get across a lot of information in that time period. Since so many people watch television, then that amount of people will view these advertisements. After all of this, we must still realize that TV is a silly use of time. People could be doing things productive in their life and live life to the fullest, but at the same time, people don't want to do that. At the same time, people need a break from doing productive things, and television gives them a great way to do nothing and be entertained. So yes, it can be all three.
