TV experiment

The week before spring break, we were assigned a TV experiment. There were different steps in doing this experiment. I thought this homework assignment was silly and didn't have anything to do with learning. One of the steps was to watch TV for 10 mins without any sound. It was very boring and a bit awkward. It made me realize how important the use of technical events are. Another step of this experiment, was to watch someone else watch TV for 15 mins. I observed my dad watching TV. It was actually pretty funny. He was drinking beer and had a bowl of nuts and chips that he was eating. He was laying on the couch and as he was munching wouldn't even look down at what he grab to eat. He would start laughing really loud. At the same time he would throw chips for the dog to catch, then call the dog over again to give him another piece. I wasn't even sure if he was just laying down to watch TV or to just keep himself busy, i don't even think he knew what he was watching. The last step of the assignment was to just watch the TV without it on. This was very boring and hard to do for 30 mins. But it made me realize how dumb TV really is; whether its on or off. As my dad did, people watch TV to keep themselves busy or because they're bored.
