As I pressed the off button on the remote, the room became unbearably quiet. Looking around the room, I was embarrassed at how I spent hours in front of the tv while the living room was a mess. How could an electronic device capture all of my attention to the point where I was unaware of my surroundings. I continued to sit in front of the blank tv and seeing how dirty the screen is from my little brother's fingertips. Doing nothing but sitting on the couch for an hour somehow drained all the energy I had before that. The realization that I did nothing for a whole hour but sit and stare scared me. I wished to get my lost hour back and to cook something or finish the calculus homework. Facing the stealer of time in front of made me realized how disappointing it is how easy the tv could be turned off. Why do so many people fall prey to the entertaining tv and the comfortable couch? I feel like ever since I was little I would always turn on the tv after I got home even though I wasn't tired and I had other things to do that same day.
If there are so many negatives to the tv how is it possible that millions are sold everyday? The value of society on tv is humongous because without a tv an individual would have a harder time connecting to rest of society. Will society ever change the high value of watching television?
