Today's television, "A load of old rubbish" or "More choice than ever before"?
Did you use to watch more television in the past than now? Do you think that tv quality has diminished a lot? Probably you are not alone.
In the past, there were high expectations around tv. It was considered a channel to keep people informed, but also an educational and entertainment resource. Let's analyze each of these aspects from ours today perspective.
As an information channel, most of the tv programs are highly biased. They communicate particular ideas which come from different groups of interest. I know that this can be a controversial thought, but it is a fact that
tv credibility has decreased along the time.
And what to say about educational programs? The space dedicated to culture and science is lower than ever and unfortunately, the less educational programs the more related to gossips take their place. Will be this kind of entertainment the most common in the future? I hope not, I would be very disappointed.
I think the quality of nowadays tv is very bad. If people hadn't other alternatives the situation would be unbearable. Thankfully, other channels like internet provide an alternative and people are getting used to spending more time there.
