For the Love and Hate of Television-Elle Ogden

Television is something that all kids from todays generation have grown up with. We all remember watching the "education" shows on PBS on a Saturday morning as little toddlers. Though I have fond memories of watching TV with my brother on the weekends, my parents did restrict TV time as a kid. I honestly can say my "TV time" now is even more limited, but not because of anything my parents have done.

With all the things going on right now, I simply just don't have time to watch TV. I'm pretty much never home and if I am, I'm either eating dinner or doing homework. I will say that one of my favorite times of year is the fall because I love watching college football. However, this year, I don't think I've been able to watch a full game.

This is probably a good thing that my TV time had diminished to almost nothing. With all the studies that are out now a days I think it's safe to say that watching TV all day isn't good for you. But in my opinion, todays teens have replaced TV with iPhones and laptops, which can't be any better for us.

Netflix has also altered the amount of TV that I watch. I can't really get into binge watching a show, nor do I have the time to, but if I'm bored at night or can't sleep, an episode or two of the office will do the trick. Netflix is convenient, its at your fingertips wherever you are. I can't watch a football game or TV show from my bed, but I can watch as many episodes of almost any TV series.
