Addicted to Entertainment

What do people usually do when they are bored and is just lying on the couch starring into space? Well, most people either watch the T.V or go online. What happened to the good old days when people read? That is forever gone. We are now in the age of technological development, where many new technologies are being invented, whether it is useful or not. Television is the most popular technologies in the world, where everyone in the world has at least one T.V at their house.

Television was invented in 1884 by Paul Nipkow, but didn't become popular until the 1940's and the 1950's. The effect of it was reflected in the lower SAT results during the 1970's, and the decline in verbal ability. But television was not always a negative invention. It made people able to communicate faster, like to broadcast the news, history channels, etc. All the other shows are just entertainment, which we are all addicted to.

In my history class, the class was told to fast from T.V or any kind of entertainment. I didn’t truly do it because my cable is cut off right now and I don’t listen to the radio. So I didn’t know what to fast from. I’m just wondering how the class did, due to the fact that they kept whining they couldn’t live without their T.V or their radio for a whole week.
