Lucas's Blog chapter 6

   Cable television is an enormous step up and has changed the televison viewing world. What was origianally invented so people in rural parts of the country could watch the news becasue high mountains would block their signal has spread world wide and is now making a mass amount of money from cable subsribers. With every different cable provider there are different perks for signing up paying the monthly bill and most of time commiting to a contract with the provider.

   Cable television provides hundreds of channels ranging from news, sports, cooking, music, movies, sitcoms, comedies, public access, weather, cartoons and reallity TV. This is one of the main reasons people subscribe to receive cable. Another reason is for strictly entertainment purposes and to not feel left out socially and missing out on something.

   The advancments of cable televison also include HD telivision and in with some subscriptions there is a "start over" option which is being able to start over a show that has already started and watch it in full form with out a tivo or DVR.
