Are T.V. Addictions Still Relavent?

             I think the argument that television has addictive potential is true. When this essay was written it was just in the classic t.v. form however. I think that now days the argument stands more true than it did in 2002 because, there are so many means in which it can be accesses through. You can now watch television wherever you go, on a laptop, your smartphone. I think it is much more accesable and therfore you are more likly to become addicted. For example if you like crack and you know one guy who has some ussually once a week, well your intake is going to be limited. But say all of a sudden there's a crack dealer on every corner offering it very cheap or even free well then, you definatly are more likly to become addicted.
             On the other hand because there is things like Netflix where you can power through a season of a show in a weekend, t.v. use is more concentrated. Also a bonus when watching t.v. online is there isn't like 40 commercials advertising what's on next. So you only really watch what you really want to. But also beause of the internet, new addictions are appearing and some of those people who were addicted to t.v. are moving over to other things like online gaming.
