The significance of television for society goes beyond just a medium of entertainment. TV is a fantastic educational tool, through broadcasting current affairs, discovery,lifestyle,cooking shows and children’s programmes. Television programmes continue to create communities around themselves,which bind people together, for example gathering with friends to watch sports, bonding over shared love or hate towards certain characters in a daily soap, and triggering reactions on social media. In today’s digital landscape, information and entertainment are available at our fingertips and while television has also embraced this digital shift, with offering exclusive online content and video interviews, but for most of us, it is a feeling of nostalgia, joy of watching television after school as children, eagerly waiting for certain shows to start, crying and begging our parents for extra TV time, these cherished moments with TV will forever be a part of our childhood memories.
