I watch a lot of tv, but am rarely able to suspend my disbelief. I am obsessed with (over) analyzing everything, including myself. Some people find this annoying about me. Instead of deconstructing the idiots around me, I use TV to indulge this penchant.
Hm, would it be correct to say you use TV as an escape?
That quote would probably be correct about 90% of tv viewers...
oh this makes me happy I converted some USD a few years back to buy their stock, "and Samsung saw an 18% increase in TV shipments, making it top dog."
He left out what percentage LED tv sales increased this year.
@OP His article does not really fit with the message you were trying to convey as it says nothing of the numbers of subscriptions to broadcasting services. He is simply poiting out that tv sales are down overall. I am inclined to agree with his opinion that it is due more to a lack of motivation to replace current tv sets than it is with less tv viewers.
Do you have links you can offer us for overall viewership, subscription and or hours spent watching? Those would be good indicators. We would probably want to then look into studies of where people spend the now freed up time from fewer tv viewing hours to complete our analysis.
