In today's society, television is a source of mindless entertainment. Families sit down to watch movies and shows as a way to pass time. This is also a great opportunity for businesses to advertise themselves, using commercial breaks between shows. I am not a very big fan of television. Why pay for cable when you have Netflix where ever you go for only eight dollars a month? Personally, I would rather be able to watch whatever I want, whenever I want instead of being forced to sit down at a specific time and then be upset if I can't. And honestly, I'm not a very big fan of watching TV shows. There are a couple that I watch--- such as Arrow, New Girl, and Orange is the New black--- but I am still not too attached to them. I like to read as a pass time or go outside and play sports. I believe television has too big a part in society, and while I'm not saying people should just stop watching it, but maybe just a bit less.
