How TV branched off

I used to think that TV shows were watched only on TV. Nowadays I see so many people watching TV shows on their laptops and Ipods. It's weird that I never noticed this shift until I got to college. I guess when TV was taken from me, it took more than just TV. It took away my ability to notice how much TV is a part of the American culture.

What is the big deal about Duck Dynasty?

I had a conversation with my friends today about Duck Dynasty. This TV show never existed in my vocabulary until I went to Walmart and saw Duck Dynasty clothing and accessories everywhere. One of my friends explained the show to me as "a bunch of rednecks who shoot ducks". I started to question others about the show and most people watched it because it appeared humorous to them. I didn't see the point of watching a show where men went out and used ducks calls to shoot ducks. It didn't make sense to me. Is my humor different from everyone else's?

Where It All Began

TV was my life as a child. It didn't matter what time of the day it was. I watched TV constantly. My mom saw my addiction to TV and cut off my TV right there and then. Years later, she put the cable back on, but by then I didn't care much for TV anymore. That disconnection from TV continued to throughout the present and now I realized just how hard it is to establish a connection with someone because I don't share the same experiences that most American youth do.
