The T.V. experiment was very different. I definitely learned some things. First, that watching T.V. without sound makes me feel nauceus. Other then that, I noticed that T.V.'s flash with a bunch of different colors, angles, and technical advances that try to keep the watcher's attention. When I was watching my mom watch T.V., I noticed that she was zoning out from the things around her. She was ignoring the dog and the phone. When I watched the T.V. when it was off, I realized that I basically do this when I watch T.V. any other time. When we watch TV , we are just staring at a box for minutes to hours at a time and it is very pointless. It is confusing that Americans value time so much but they are willing to waste their time watching TV. TV is like our escape from reality but it is taking people away from their lives too much. It made me realize that TV is something that I shouldn't even waste my time on. It is better to spend time with family and friends than fictional characters. Thursday, October 15, 2009

What's interesting about watching tv is that you don't even realize how long you watch it for. Time goes by really quickly when you don't use your brain at all. Watching TV without it on also made me realize how stupid it was. We just stare at a box and hours go by without us realizing it.
ReplyDeleteYes! Great post Andrea! I think you really did the experiment and really got something out of it. Insightful.
