Un-TV

this week we had to do a project that involved watching the TV. Not watching a show on TV, but watching the television itself. We had to watch the TV and watching someone else watch it, and watch it without the sound on. While watching a news broadcast  without the sound on, i realized how much we can get out of the news without even having the sound on. I also found that there are very irrelevant pictures and videos that have nothing to do with the broadcast itself. When watching a random show without having the sound on, i felt disconnected and clueless. I wanted to know what the plot was and i felt like i couldn't get an understanding of it while it was on mute. When i was watching my sister watch a random re-run of a show that she likes i realized how distracted we all are when we watch TV.My sister was watching her show, doing her homework, having a snack, and texting someone all at the same time. It's pretty funny how distracted we are when doing anything and how we multitask so much that we can't just stop and focus on one single thing at the time.
