I decided to Interview my mom and sister for this assignment. Both of them have experienced TV in two different times. My mom having a tv with only black and white and my sister always having cable. For both of them, the role of TV has changed over the course of years and has been influential.

My mom shared her experience with TV growing up. She told me how when she was growing up the TV they had was quite large and only had two or three channels. Her family and her would sit down to watch the news or whatever show was playing for that evening. She also told me how having a TV was somewhat new for her. They did not have cable or any remote control. She told me about her dad having to adjust the antenna a lot in order to receive the channels. For my mom, TV has been there for a large part of her life but it wasn't an important part. TV was limited for her growing up. Today, my mom only watches TV for the news. 

For my sister, TV has been something that has always been there. When she was younger, her daily after school routine consisted of coming home and immediately turning on the TV. She has grown up with TV having hundreds of channels and being in color. When asked why she doesn't watch TV as much her response was that she does not have time to sit down and watch TV and she has Netflix. For my sister, TV has been something that has always been there. In today's world, Netflix offers the same entertainment quality as TV.
