Most American households have at least one television set in their homes. My family and my 75 year old grandmother in Puerto Rico all have televisions with satellite. I usually don't have much time to watch television but when I do have time, I usually watch news reports or interesting facts and stories on Discovery or on the History Channel. Television has been the subject of research in politics, culture, education, and economy, but very little has been said so far about its potential for creating new forms of art (Lorand 112). I feel that television can be used for educational purposes but many times it is not. My mother feels that education is just an excuse to watch television with our easy access to the internet.
