Observation #5

Recently television has been transformed from analog to digital signals. My apartment didn’t really notice the change because we have cable, and it changed automatically, but my family at home in Utah noticed. Even though they can still watch movies and DVDs, the regular stations come up with a dark screen that says the stations have changed their signals and in order to watch them a converter box or cable is needed. My family is now part of the 1% population that could be considered as not having a T.V. I wonder how this change has affected the ratings of some of the local stations, and how many other families like mine are not making the switch over. I feel like this change has defined how technology moves on and leaves others behind.
