Television
Television is probably one of the best and worst things in society. Before, world news, events, and affairs took months to reach people. Now there is news on every channel at 5, 6:30, 7, 9, and 10 o'clock and if anything important should happen, the world will know about it in minutes. I guess this can be viewed as good or bad because the media will do whatever it takes to get a good story, even twist one to the limits of truth, but we hear the news nonetheless. Another good/bad aspect of television is that it offers entertainment. Over time, however, people have lost interest in that which was actually entertaining to watching people gamble on game shows (rather than play them) and watching people stab each other in the back with reality T.V. The nastier the show is, the higher the ratings and the more money there is to be made. Shows that offered the good, clean entertainment are slowly being taken off the air or moved to obscure channels that are only obtainable through expensive cable or satellite packages. Not that there aren't good shows on anymore, but many of them have gone downhill from where they started. Television is good at times and bad at times, but how long can that last?
