Online Media!! The New Way of Accessing Your Faves

I can honestly say that the TV of today and how most of us students watch it has been positive in my life. For starters, I stay in a dorm on campus. It is supposed to be one of the nicest dorms, but the cable provider we have just doesn’t live up to the “best dorm on campus” standards. Some channels have even been taken away, but on behalf of the service provider they had a good reason for it. Being able to watch some shows on your laptop that you can’t get in your dorm is relaxing! It helps me to ease my mind and keeps me from watching the same old channels on my TV. Another great thing about being able to access TV shows and movies on the internet, is that when you’re out of town somewhere or you could be sitting at work, as long as you have that internet access you will have access to that show or movie you want to watch. I cannot count on my hands alone how many times I have seen people who work behind computers are usually watching their favorites online in their downtime.  Even our librarians do it! Sometimes when you’re in a hotel, they more than likely don’t have the channel or movie you want to watch either. Hotels have great Wi-Fi so there would be no problem accessing what you need. Not only is having all this on the internet easy and quick, it saves money! Why go out and spend all your money on DVDs or on the movies (which is getting very high), when you can easily find the movie on the internet by just searching it or subscribing to Netflix. Then, you have the luxury of laying in your bed or chilling on your couch wrapped up with your laptop and popcorn without a care in the world. Going the internet route for your TV show and movie needs is almost a no brainer.
