Why do we watch television?

Television are in almost every home in the United States today.  Currently 97% of all US households have an average of 2-3 televisions per home.  We use TV as a communication tool to learn what is going on around us in our communities, outside of our communities, and all around the world.  It is a way for us to stay connected on current events and get prepared and be safe due to forecasted natural disasters.  We use television to even find missing persons, learn who to donate to for good causes, and stay up to date with what is going on in the political arena.
