I really like TV, most of the time. It gives me a chance to learn something if I want to, or just learn absolutely nothing for an hour or so. Most of us watch television, whether it be for several hours a day or just occasionally on the weekends.

We often don't realize it, but TV has a pretty big effect on us. We see commercials for things we want to buy. We see social and political commentaries that affect our views of the world. We see examples of
how we could be living our lives.

Recently, on my way home, I’ve been noticing many construction sites for new businesses. These businesses are being built on land that was previously unoccupied. Along the same street that I see all of these construction sites are also many empty buildings that once housed stores that are now out of business.
