The
average student probably gets home, takes out their homework and
turns on the television. According to one study, most kids watch up to or at least
two to four hours
of TV a day. As 7th grader Shelby Johnson puts it, “I watch TV when I’m
bored.”
The
television has been around since 1926. It was invented by a
lot of different people who all contributed to the TV as we know it
today. But back in the 20s when TVs were brand new, the picture was
black and white and the screen was really small. Since then, the TV
has definitely changed. Today we have 64-inch plasma screens with
(HD) high-definition.
Another 7th grade student, Tara Vittoria states, “It depends on
what kind of mood I’m in,” regarding what she watches on TV. Kids
now-a-days watch all sorts of different things. That's what makes
the TV so amazing, you can watch anything you want. There are
cartoons, dramas, and news channels, or shows about style and
celebrities, not to mention sports and movies. Whatever
you can think of--it has its own show.
There are some kids that barely ever watch TV. There are a lot of
reasons why they do not, such as, from their parents not letting
them, or not even liking it.
The television is probably one of the most used electronics in the
United States. The television will always keep improving so be
prepared to see holographic TV screens or something crazy like that.
So if you watch TV 24/7 or think it’s a waste of time the
television is an extremely cool invention. Just make sure you
do your homework.
