TV is known to be one of the greatest inventions in the entire world. Well It was one of the greatest inventions until the year. People throughout the world are not spending enough time on their TVs since there is better pieces of technology to use (Especially the Internet). This eventually convinced people that TV is eventually becoming a relic of the past. But is TV really dying? Well I don't really think so. Ok here's why.
Sure TV isn't as popular as it was before but that doesn't mean it's dying. TV can have it's positive traits. One such trait is that it's live. What this means is that you can watch whatever you want to watch immediately rather than just wait until it's content is posted onto the internet, on demand channels or even programs like Netflix and Shomi. Whether it be a new episode of your favourite show or even some news (like sports related). But then again, not a lot of content can be posted online due to "copyright". Which brings me to my next point, copyright. Sure you can just wait until your episode can be posted online but MOST of the time, it won't be there due to Fair Use Laws and Copyright Infringement. Which states that if something is completely different than the original thing, it's considered fair use. That would make the online episode either mirrored or completely different due to edited things in the video. But unlike TV, it's always the original thing and it will never be taken down.. This shows that you can't always rely on the internet to watch whatever you could watch on TV due to dumb copyright laws. But the most important thing about TV is that it's pretty much essential for commercial services since 60% of TV is commercials. I may hate advertisements with a burning passion but without these commercials the show wouldn't be even airing. Causing episodes to not even be added to your programs and even the internet (Unless someone has the time to search for leaked information).
In conclusion, while I don't use TV a lot, it'll take a very long time for TV to be considered "dead". Not only is it important for commercials (Which i still hate) but it's also excellent for early bird TV users due to it's live broadcastings and the fact that it doesn't have to experience copyright laws compared to the internet.
