John Lennon said it. It was my senior yearbook quote. And once again the lyric "you may call me a dreamer, but I'm not the only one," is relevant in my life.
People will still watch TV.

I have read study after study that proves the Internet is becoming the most popular source for news. But to me, those are just studies, done by people that aren't here, they're not showing it to me. It was like a rumor - the Web is the way to go - and people kept telling it to me as though TV is a sinking ship.
I didn't want to believe it, and honestly, I still have trouble comprehending it. Radio and newspaper are very old forms of the media, but people still use it to get information. I am no longer naive to the fact TV isn't the king media anymore, but I know I am not the only one who didn't jump onto the Internet news bandwagon.
However, taking this class has helped me realize that the media is shifting. But even more importantly, it has helped me understand how I can be apart of the shift. Don't be fooled, when the time comes, I will be ready for the digital switch, hyperlinks and all.
But for now, I am still going to pursue a career in TV producing. I know I am going to keep watching TV... and I'm not the only one.
In many ways your best blog was your last one. TV is lucky to be getting you.
