This is the first blog I have to do for my English class, and I have to pick a topic from my writers notebook to blog about. I have decided to blog about what would happen if there were no more television in the world.

If television just disappeared one day, I think there would probably be chaos for a small period of time, but everyone in the world would eventually get used to not having television. There would be the initial shock of it disappearing, and news would travel much slower, but it would not cripple the world, as some may think. People would actually start going outside more often, instead of watching the same shows on television they have seen several times. If I had to guess, the problem of many people being overweight would get much better if the main source of entertainment for people around the world disappeared.

A down side of this though could also be that news wouldn't travel as fast as it does today. Every time something big happens, several television stations are always there, reporting on it. Without that exposure, an area that is a disaster zone may not be closed off to the public, and more people may go in the area, making a bad situation even worse.

With any luck, however, we hopefully won't have to worry about this problem.
