TV and Consumption

We were given the Un-TV Experiment. I was really interested in what I was going to learn from this experiences. After I finished this experience I realized that TV is so pointless.  We are so caught with thinking that watching TV helps us to connect to society.  Most children are already being introduced to all the advertisements.  Children are the gate to consumption and advertisements.  TV makes us lose track in time.  In Today's society we really don't notice how much we sit in front of the TV and do nothing. I realized that there are numerous advertisements on not only TV, but on billboards, and the radio. TV and technology have consumed our society. We are so wrapped up in all the advertisements and are always wanting the new thing. Our society uses TV and technology to socialize and engage with society. We are so wound up in it. I remember when I was Young I would get so caught up in TV and I wouldn't realize how late it was and it be like hours later.  I was always so caught up with the shows and I would act like they are apart of society. As I would talk to friends about the shows and people in them as if they were real people in our society.
