Television

Newspapers don't talk to you, and the pictures in magazines don't move. Who wants to read about lasts nights big game when you have the option of watching it as it happens? Television is obviously the big dog in information giving to the masses, and with every type of media it has it's disadvantages. Sure, there's advertisements, but there's also ads everywhere else there isn't TV. Other media sources have just as many ads as TV, but television ads are even more entertaining than color pictures or radio ads. People talk to each other about their favorite TV shows, sports, news, even major current events, most people have discovered through their home televisions. The reason things involving television are so popular are because nearly everyone can relate to them. People simply prefer watching their favorite actors on stage over seeing nobel peace prizes being handed out, for the fact that it is less relevant to them.
