Cable or Internet?

            Families use to gather around a television set at night for family entertainment. They would watch televisions shows together because there was only one television for the family. Then came the days where every room would have a television set. Every family member could watch the television show that they wanted. Now, you do not even need a television to watch your favorite television show. Millions of people have made the switch from watching television via cable to watching it online.

            Internet allowed for the creation of websites such as Hulu and Letmewatchthis.com. These website have many hit television shows as well as shows that are no longer aired or those that you just do not have time to watch during the day. These websites can help and hurt the television industry. People can now not even have to pay for cable to watch the television shows they want. They can access the same televisions shows on the Internet for free. Websites like Hulu do show limited commercials, which include new television shows being aired that won’t be on Hulu for a certain period of time.

            There are more people that are switching from paying for cable and television services to watching what they want to see on the Internet. Shows are available to watch minutes after they have finished airing. They are also there for viewing months and years after they aired. Why pay for something when you can get it for free?

Intro Post

Hello! My name is Megan Adams. I am a Sport Management major and a Mass Communications minor. I am hoping to work at a news station in the sports department or at a college. I am a sister of the Chi Omega sorority. I enjoy watching television, working out, reading, hanging out with my sisters, and planning my future life on Pinterest. I am originally from the wonderful state of Alabama. My family moved to Temple, GA the summer before my 6th grade year.


A part of electronic media that I feel strongly about is movies, especially Disney movies. I believe that movies like The Little Mermaid, The Loin King, and Beauty and the Beast are timeless classics that will never be forgotten. To create a movie that will never be forgotten is a hard thing to do. These movies were released around the time that I was born, which was 21 years ago. These movies are still seen in households everywhere. They are also being restored and even shown in theaters in 3D. I watched these movies when I was little and plan to show them to my children.

Below is a video of my favorite Disney song in a movie of all time! "Part of Your World" on The Little Mermaid.
