Hyejin Kim/TV:Could You Live Without It?/Wed 11a.m.

 

TV : We Have Many Alternatives Now

201001006

Hyejin Kim, DIS

 

           I think all of us can live without TV. As a matter of fact, I am living without TV and there is no problem at all, because there are many substitutes today such as smartphone and Internet. In my case, I have some programs which I really love to watch and my smartphone has no DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) function. Therefore I usually download my favorites through the Internet to watch them. Even though I have to wait until the file is uploaded by other users, I do not feel any inconvenience. I just wait about 5minutes. Then, I can watch and stop watching it any time I want to, once I download it. It is more convenient than watching through TV that I cannot pause for a while or rewind it. Also, we can see people every day who watch TV holding their smartphone, PMP, and tablet PC at bus or subway. It tells we can enjoy watching TV without TV these days.

  1. I think it might a little dangerous to say that about "everbody" just based on your individual experience and situation because some of us might noe have smart phones for example. However, I totally understand what you're trying to convey through your writing, so this might be improved through wording your points slightly different in writing from a third person's point of view (neutral position). Anyways, good work!
