It will then give people a chance to get more involved in activities they never would have before such as local community politics. More information will be available and involvement will be easier. Whatever the future brings, television is poised to become a much larger part of all our lives, young and old. It only seems natural, then, to conclude that if TV is and will be a big part of our daily lives and education is fundamental to better life, we should integrate the two so we can use them to our best advantage. Why can't we go further.
Cable TV is common place in most American cities today.
A cable TV company virtually has a monopoly in its viewing area. Since they do have a monopoly and have little concern about some other company stealing their customers, then there would be less pressure on their profitability if we, the consumer, required they provide us with certain programming, even if the cable TV company thinks it is unprofitable. As a society, the time is right, we should demand cable TV companies supply us with two educational channels, one for children and one for adults. The same educational programming could be used nation wide to keep costs down and the programs could be played over and over year after year. We, the viewers and the students could tape the ones of interest and of the next level.
