Assignment 5 - Ethan MacGillivray

I am not a person that watches a lot of TV. I also feel like the entire United States and most of the world is moving away from TV. 90 percent of the Tv i watch is sports, including soccer from the English Premier League and Major League Soccer, as well as the Champions League and Europa League. I also watch football from college and the NFL, plus college basketball and the occasional NBA game. The only non-sport TV show I watch is called Impractical Jokers, a truTV show that is very funny. Most people in the industrialized world are moving away from cable TV and now use services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. For watching shows, they are better in almost every single way than regular TV. They don't have commercials, you can watch as many episodes or seasons in a row that you want, plus a much wider selection. I think that the prominence of awards shows like the Emmy's, Grammy's, and Oscar's vs. the overlooking of the Nobel Prizes is shameful. If actors, musicians, and other celebrities deserve the glamour of an annual awards sow like that, the people pushing the world forward deserve so much more.
