Broadband Challenge

How long can you go without television and radio? Using internet as your only source of video

The challenge was successful for me. All week I've avoided television as well as  radio. 
Personally, I found that radio wasn't a challenge at all, as I always have my ipod connected in my car and when I do listen to music at home I have my songs downloaded play them through Itunes. Television on the other hand was a bit more difficult for me. Most shows can be viewed online either live through the networks site or at a later date. I typically don't watch much television however, there are certain shows at time that I like gathering with my family and/or friends and watch all together. 

In today's world everything can be accessed online however, that doesn't mean I want to. I still rather have my photoshop programs then do it online. At times I rather just sit down and watch television as appose to surfing the internet to find past episodes and wait for them to load. I love the internet for many things, but not everything. As the internet perfects itself and radio as well as television shows will be provided online advertisers will need to adjust their marketing and advertising strategies.

All in all it was a good challenge but I still prefer getting comfy on my couch and watching a show I've been waiting for all week, then waiting to watch it online the next day. As for movies and what not online is great, or even watching old season of How I Met Your Mother, etc... I'm glad the challenge is over though. I look forward to watching American Idol on my television set and using my own photoshop programs and not online applications.
