I was looking through the USA Today website and came across an article about an outdoor, waterproof television. I was intrigued about how it was set up, so naturally I clicked the link. I was brought to an article that described a slim, bright, and waterproof outdoor television. The new 2014 model is thinner and more lightweight than a previous model (date not specified). The SunBrite employees are continually doing tests on the tv to make it more durable and functionable. They are throwing and kicking things at the screen, making sure that it can eventually withstand anything that comes its way. Although the prices range from $1,495 to $7,695 depending on the size of the screen, SunBrite assures that its television will be worth the purchase because it is "weather, temperature, and insect proof," and can therefore stay outdoors all year long.
I feel that this is television is only going to cause more "social-awkwardness" in society. Barbecues and outdoor events at houses will no longer be focused on doing outdoor activities, such as volleyball or frisbee. People will once again be glued to a certain-inch screen watching an irrelevant show or movie, rather than promoting good socializing skills and actually communicating with those around them. This world has become too focused on advancing technology that people have lost touch with one another while in an environment where communicating one-on-one is essential.
