Television is a medium one could not imagine to think about its non-existence in today’s world. It is a part of our daily life and belongs to us like the coffee we drink in the morning or the steak we eat for lunch. This means that the importance of television has raised in our multimedia-based world of today, television is everywhere around us!

For sure, television and its programmes fascinates the people. There cannot be a discussion about the fact that this is related to the raising supply of programmes and series. With the possibility of digital television and online TV everyone can see what he wants and when he wants, or to say it in economic terms: The consumer is faced to nearly perfect consummation possibilities. With less effort the consumer can see his favourite programme and devices like TV guides can help to maximize the knowledge and information standard.

Me, myself, like the big spectrum of television offers. This means that I cannot say explicitly that XYZ is my favourite programme because this depends to the genre I am actually interested in. But essentially I am interested in documentations, especially such ones which rehabilitate old topics which new methods of analysis. Therefore I eminently like historical documentations with new aspects and discoveries. For that purpose I think that a very important challenge of television is to provide the world with information. It is interesting as well as important to have a look on what happens on our globe day by day and with the media of TV we get the chance to satisfy this desire in an relatively easy way.

If I regard the principle of television more in a way of entertainment other things become important for me as a consumer. On the one hand I especially like to watch sport programmes which is caused by my own passion to take exercises and make sports. I like sports like soccer, basketball, tennis and a lot more and of course I am especially interested in the Olympic games which take place every four years. In addition to that it is fun and a great entertainment to watch soccer games with a lot of friends because the different tastes and emotions support the fact of tension. On the other hand the television tool of tension constitutes my other favour which is to watch TV series. Therefore I do not have a specific genre I really prefer to watch but series like House, M.D. or the X-Files are my favourite programmes. In the case of House, M.D. it is not implicitly the medical background which fixes me but the different stories set around and the way the main character acts. What I like most concerning the X-Files is the creation of various cases the main characters Dana Scully and Fox Mulder try to solve.

In the text above I have talked about the great variety and possibilities television offers. However, it is necessary to mention that this channel of entertainment can also be a dangerous aspect for children. In the last assignment I talked about the fact that multimedia raises in importance while basic experiences lose in significance. Therefore it is important to protect children against their own exorbitance by showing them that television should not be as important as the coffee in the morning or the steak you eat for lunch.
This is a well written blog entry, with paragraphs that are of good leangth and of importance. Some thougths:
AntwortenLöschen- I can't find the general thesis statement. This is of minor importance, since the topic is not very academic.
- The first sentence is a bit awkvard and wordy.
- In "In the case of House, M.D. it is not implicitly..." there should be an "and" insead of the comma.
Not much else to comment.
Keep it Real!
