When I was young, all that was available on TV were the major networks. We would sit in front of the TV as a family My dad was the one who controlled what we watched although I was often the one who got up to change the channel. Obviously, this was before remote controls! Everything that was televised was for all audiences-what would be rated G now. While there are a wide variety of channels and offerings now, many older viewers still watch TV in the same way I did as a child: what I would call appointment television.
While there are some times when I want to watch something when it first airs, that is NOT how I usually watch TV. I love my Roku!! Being able to binge TV and choose when I want to see something is incredibly freeing. I especially love not having programs interrupted by advertisers. I could never go back to only having appointment TV! I love the variety of what's available on my own timetable. I hope that more people my age and older are moving to this way of watching TV. It is so much fun!
Streaming services are definitely the way to go. I love having Chromecast so I can watch YouTube and Twitch. Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon are must-haves for me. I also love having access to Premium Channels like HBO (Game of Thrones, WestWorld, Ballers, etc.) and STARZ (Outlander is THE BEST!!). I could never go back to the old way of watching TV. Technology has made it so that a wide variety of media is available on demand. I love it!
