blog eight... on time for the first time in a while!
As television changes, the networks must adapt to everything that comes with it. People don't want to sit around watching commercials all the time, but if the networks say that "oh, the commercials are only sixty or ninety seconds long" maybe, just maybe, someone will sit down and watch. But why? It's not like commercials are generally five minutes long. You can still get up and get stuff done during the commercials. Maybe, if it gets ridiculous enough, the networks will take out advertisements all together, except for right before and right after a program. That'd be great. But with TiVo and DVR, you basically skip the commercials anyway, if you're patient enough to wait for the recording to be done. But like I said earlier, you can do anything during the commercials, no matter how long or short they are. Like what I'm doing right now, I'm writing this blog and watching TV. It's pretty convenient to have a break from the intense shows. I think that eventually there will be one big MEGA NETWORK! and they will own all the other baby networks. I imagine one single channel, but you pick out whatever shows you want, at anytime of the day. It would be like a super TiVo; all you would have to do is pick out the shows you like, and it will record everything for you. Basically, you buy the seasons of all the shows you want when you purchase your TV. Eventually it could become cordless and portable. Sounds cool. Now I really want one.

HAHA I love your blog! Its so true and so you! And now I want a cordless, protable TV too! However, I'm really not sure if technology will be able to out-do advertising, or advertising will out-do technology. In a way, they are realted. IAnd take product placement for example, we may justend up watching a full hour of a show and being bombarded with advertisements. I would hate that, it's so much worse than actual commercials, because I always want the name band candy they advertise.
