favorite media

My favorite form of media is television. The purpose of television is multifold: to educate, to entertain, to inform. I use the tv to do all three of these things. If the television was taken away, I would miss many things. I wouldn't like it I just couldn't sit down and take a load off. Sometimes after a long day I just want to watch tv, and if I couldn't do it I'd be upset, but find alternate things to do. I would miss the fact that tv is a social tool. Gathering together and watching sporting events and other television shows doesn't happen often, but frequent enough that it is important. I watch the tv for the news, and without it, I'd have to scan the AM dial on the radio to get the news. All in all, the television is something that I could live without, but life would be a lot more inconvenient.

Would you say TV is a social binder and brings the "mass" of society together? Even if we don't sit together in the same place, it's the common experience of the event/show?
