Older Generation's view on Television

The impact television has had on the older generation’s lives is very heavy. This was the biggest source of media in that time period. They didn’t have internet so television was one of their only options. Their attitudes have not changed that much. Their generation is used to getting the news and entertainment from TV while my generation is accustom to using online resources.

New experiences my interview subject remembers the most was the terrorist attacks on the world trade center on September 11^th. This shows how heavily important television is and how heavily it is consumed. The quality of news varies with the traditional networks vs. cable programs. Cable programs seem to be more biased and pick sides when events happen. They tell what they want to tell and how to tell it.
