Response to Television is a Waste: Melissa Perello

I thought Melissa Perello's response to the television lecture was very well written.  I agree with her that this specific lecture was not the most interesting compared to the others.  Melissa and I have something in common that we don't find time to watch television during the week, so I think the lecture didn't appeal to us because we couldn't relate to it as much as the other lectures.  I liked Melissa's example on the domino effect of television's impacts.  For example, the shows becoming 24/7 resulted to people watching TV for about 7 hours a day which lead to people staying indoors which can lead to obesity and so forth.  I can go on and on with the domino effect and that is why I thought Melissa's simile was so great.   I liked how Melissa concluded that although the Internet seems to be demassifing everything, the Internet will probably one day demassify?  I wonder what new technology in the future will be the one to do so?  Overall, Melissa did a great job over viewing the lecture and made some good points.
