Un-TV

All things on television aren't always what you think they are. When you watch a show on television, all you really are doing is watching the screen. People ask "What are you doing?" and a response could be "Oh, just watching TV". But what does it actually mean to watch TV? All your actually doing is staring the screen; your doing nothing. While I was doing this experiment, I found it to be really boring. Sitting there staring at the TV made me think about how boring it was and I found myself thinking a lot about other things going on and better things I could be doing. While I was watching someone else watch TV, I found them dozing off and "spacing out". Alissa actually started to drop her head and she looked possessed by the TV. This experiment shows how easily we can be shaped by the things around us.
