Television

Television has really risen to popularity in the past century. It's become a popular form of mass media, but it seems like television is following the same pattern that other mass medias such as radio have followed, and it's fading out of popularity. The concept of the way things fade away and out of popularity is interesting to me. I know about it in theory, because I've heard about how radio lost its popularity, and how "video killed the radio star", but I've never experienced it happen to something that I've used in my life. Now, with television, I'm starting to notice how subtle it is when something becomes less popular. You slowly stop watching things on the TV, and little by little you start using the internet to watch shows more. Soon enough, people will stop watching things on the TV and just switch to the internet. I can see this happening with the TV right now, but if things follow the same pattern, then that means that the internet is next for fading out of popularity. That is something that's really weird to think about, because I can't imagine not using the internet anymore.
