Discussion #9: Television Viewing Habits

Humanities

Now that you have read four op-Ed pieces about technology’s impact on television, discuss your own television viewing habits. Do you watch television shows? If so, which ones? If not, why not? Do you use Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, or other streaming services? Do you use a Roku, Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV Stick, etc.? Do you pay for cable television? Have you ever binge-watched a TV series before? If so, which ones? Do you ever re-watch TV shows you’ve already seen? These are just a few examples of the kinds of things you can discuss.

You will respond to my initial thread. Your post should be 150-300 words. It is also recommended that you type your responses this semester into a Word document so that you can proofread your work and easily figure out the word count. Then, you can copy and paste your response into the text box. Save all discussion posts in this document so you can easily access them later. Discussion posts will be deducted 1 point for every 25 words under/over. Also, students will lose 2 points automatically for any duplicate, blank, or word-count-only posts. Please keep in mind that you will not be able to see other students’ posts before you submit your own, and once you submit your post, you will not be able to edit or delete your post. Therefore, it is imperative that you proofread and ensure you have met the requirements and word count before posting.
