Question: If television is a great way to get others to learn about something new, why are more people watching less of it?

Category: Sociology Paper Type: Report Writing Reference: IEEE Words: 650

The television a vital source of information was invented in late 1927. The first television was a successful project of a 21 years old boy Philo Taylor Farnsworth. In the beginning television was introduced in the market in the two colors black and white only. At that times there was no concept of color television. However, later development and advancement in the technology enabled the science to introduce a color television in the market for the public use.

            With the passage of time several changes were made in the television to improve the experience of the customer towards the television. Television successfully replaced the radio and captured large market shares of the newspapers and other sources of information. When the television was introduced in the market people assumed that television is the best invention of all times as because of this they were able to see the picture of the anchor and places about which the news were broadcasted [1].

It is a famous quote that a picture is better than 1000 words. television not only broadcasted the news, but also programs and talk shows on the topics of politics, current affairs, whether, economic situation and crisis of the world. Therefore television was considered as the great way to get others to learn about something new [2].  But the success of the television is now going towards decrease. Business of the television is now at the declining stage because of change in the behavior of the users and change in the technology.

            In the past people were not able to access information through personal sources. But now with the advancement in the telecommunication and information technology the world is turned into the global village. Now people can access news about any event, accident, and whether related information about any country of the world through the use of social media and internet. People are able to communicate and search on the internet to get latest updates about something in the other corner of the world. There is no more need to wait for the news bulletin. Television is now becoming an old technology. A recent research study elaborate that during the 5 year duration (2010-2015) decrease in the regular viewers of the television are mentioned below:

Age

% of decrease

25-34

19%

35-44

         In accordance to the Stelter,  people particulalry young generation is now paying more attention to the internet and mobile applciations [3]. They prefer to watch the same vedios on the handy devices as tablet and mobiles rather than watching on the television. according to the Stelter decrease in the number of viwers is not a big deal. a huge audience still watch the television shows but on other devices. therefore we can say that people are only switching to mobile and other handy devices to watch the programs of the television throuhg interest and television apps.
