The TV is free, should we go back to the living room?
Recently, a piece of news has attracted a lot of attention. Starting from October 1, 2024, some cable TV channels will be open for free, including the central one, two, three, four, etc. This is good news for many families, especially those who spend dozens to hundreds of dollars a month watching TV. However, young people don't seem to pay much attention to the news. What is the reason for this? Is TV really going to be abandoned by the times?
Memories in front of the TV: The dramas we chased together in those years
Speaking of watching TV, I suddenly remembered the scene when my family watched "Journey to the West" around the TV when I was a child. Every night at half past seven, we sit on the sofa on time, my father holds tea, my mother holds me, and we all watch Sun Wukong make trouble in the heavenly palace. Although there were not many TV shows at that time, each one of them was a masterpiece and made people have endless memories.
Now that I think about it, TV at that time was really the "protagonist" of the family. Whether it's watching dramas or watching the news, the whole family will get together. The TV is not just an electrical appliance, but also a family bond, which binds everyone together.
However, with the development of the times, such scenes are becoming less and less common. Today's young people prefer to use their mobile phones to watch videos, and the elderly are still watching TV, and the atmosphere at home has become different. Sometimes I wonder, is it possible that we have lost something important?
Free channels are coming: the old cheers, the young are cold
As soon as the news of the free opening of some cable TV channels came out this time, the reaction can be said to be two days of ice and fire. Older people generally welcome it, after all, it can save a lot of money. I heard my dad say that the old men and women in their community are discussing this matter, and some people even went to ask how the property is operated.
But the reaction of young people was much more lukewarm. I asked a few random friends, and most of them responded, "Oh, can you still watch TV?" One buddy was more direct: "My TV has become an ornament, so I might as well use it to play games." "
This contrast is interesting to me. It's the same thing, how can there be such a big difference? Is it really that the generation gap is too deep, or is it that the content of TV stations has not kept up with the tastes of young people?
TV content has been greatly upgraded: self-made dramas are coming, and variety shows are also coming to join in the fun
In the face of the cold reaction of young people, the TV station was not idle. It is said that some TV stations have begun to plan self-made dramas and variety shows in order to attract the attention of young audiences.
I heard that a TV station is going to make a science fiction drama set in the future world of 2100, telling the story of artificial intelligence and humans. There is also a variety show that claims to combine the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional, so that the anime characters and real people can interact together. These ideas sound interesting, but I don't know what the end result will be.
However, I think it is still difficult for TV stations to attract young people. Today's young people have a lot of appetite, and with so much wonderful content on the Internet, how can TV stations keep up? Moreover, young people are accustomed to watching videos with mobile phones, and they can watch them anytime and anywhere.
Family Warmth vs. Personal Space: How Do We Choose?
To be honest, the fact that the TV channels were free this time made me think about a question: should we go back to the living room and watch TV with our families?
I remember a survey that said that family members now have less and less time to communicate with each other. Everyone is busy with their own business, parents watch TV, children play with mobile phones, and although the family is under one roof, it seems that they live in different worlds.
However, it seems a bit unrealistic to force everyone to watch TV together. After all, everyone's interests and hobbies are different, and the content they watch is also different. My dad likes to watch news broadcasts, my mom likes to watch variety shows, and I prefer to watch anime and movies. If you force yourself to sit together and watch TV, you will probably have a quarrel after a while.
So, I wondered, is it possible to find a compromise? For example, take one night a week to watch a movie or variety show together as a family. This will enhance family bonding without affecting one's schedule too much.
The living room of the future: is the TV still the main character?
At the end of the day, the fact that TV channels are free this time actually reflects a bigger question: what role can TV play in this Internet age?
Some people say that sooner or later TV will be eliminated because young people nowadays don't watch TV anymore. But I think it's probably not that simple. Take my family as an example, although I rarely watch TV, but every Chinese New Year, the whole family will still gather in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala or other programs.
And,Isn't there a smart TV now,You can surf the Internet、Watch videos,The function is actually quite powerful。 Maybe in the future, the TV will become a home entertainment center, where you can not only watch TV shows, but also play games, watch movies, video calls, and so on.
Overall, the fact that TV channels are free this time gives us the opportunity to rethink the place of television in family life. Although young people now prefer to use their mobile phones to watch videos, TV may still have its significance as a form of entertainment shared by the family. As for what the future holds, it's really hard to say. Perhaps, we need to find a new way to enjoy the convenience of technology while keeping our families warm. What do you think?
