A. C. Nielsen Co., in its research says that the average American, in a sixty-five year life will spend nine years watching a television. This translates into twenty eight hours a week or two full months per year of viewing! Just an indicator of our obsession involving them.
Households in the United States have the highest ownership rate on earth today per-capita. With numbers over ninety-nine percent owning a minimum one, and standing at an average of not quite three TV sets in each home. These sets are turned on, (if being watched or even not) for almost seven solid hours per day on average, and when the term couch potato is being used, it does not fall too far from base does it?
Recent surveys discover sixty percent, (or even more possibly) of the U. S. General population is able to name all of the members from a comedy team like the nineteen-thirties era Three Stooges, but under fifteen percent of that same number surveyed are able to name any three of the sitting Justices of the United States Supreme Court. Modern television viewing habits have been seen as aiding developmentally in this in recent times.
The television became commercially available in the nineteen-thirties. First actual broadcasts being made from the nineteen thirty-six Olympiad in Berlin, Germany to stations in that city as well as Leipzig availing the games for the first time to a nations populace. Due to cost, the lack of programming, et cetera, the television did not make headway into peoples homes until the nineteen-fifties.
With sales of sets skyrocketing, the television had developed itself into an advertising tool as well and still is unmatched. Currently, broadcasters use up to thirty percent or more of available time for advertising. The average young child inside the United States, sees twenty thousand or more thirty second commercials each year. The results show effect on our retailers, manufacturers, and the base of our economy itself. Ask if you have been to a fast food restaurant today, and you would have gone but for the children coaxing of you, to get the newest toy or prize offered with a meal.
Average American youths spend around nine hundred hours in school per year. Now compare this, that same young child spends very near seventeen hundred hours or more watching television during that same year! Ever since the early nineteen-seventies, disparity in those numbers has been advancing steadily. With additions of the various inventions like; DVD, VCR, the Blu-Ray, DVR systems and the like, we are adding to these already heightened numbers during recent years.
The television is, and can definitely be a valuable tool by use of learning, communications, and wise development. With the over use as a distraction or social crutch being its greatest flaw or detriment. The American public should be aware of this and attempt to monitor its viewing for more productive and responsible things.
