...multiple types of televisions (LCD, LED, 3-D) to home theatre products, tablets, and wireless routers. While their main product remains to be their televisions, the variety of products that they now offer are rapidly becoming popular amongst consumers in North America. Although Vizio’s newer products are a huge success, we believe that for now Vizio’s televisions would be the best product to offer in the Australian market. When looking at the high demand for television in the Australia market, it is easy to see why Vizio will not experience many obstacles in the selling of their televisions there. Being the number one media outlet for Australians, televisions are commodities that manufacturers are always competing with one another to try to gain the advantage in. Vizio has gained that advantage in their televisions and have used it to gain the upper hand on the companies in North America. They have recognized the desires of their consumers, and have thus used uncompromised technology to produce a product that is of incredible quality while offering it at a lower price than of competitors. In 2010, Vizio got the award for offering the highest rated LCD high-definition (HD) television. Their current lineup can even offer Australians a greater value than just their low sales price seeing that their efficient LED backlit televisions exceed the current ENERGY STAR 4.1 guidelines by at least 15%.

...Advantages and Disadvantages of Television Nowadays many people all over the world spent most of their free time watching television; but since its appearance, television has brought to man many advantages as well as disadvantages. First, television plays an important role in our daily activities: it keeps us informed of all current affairs in the world. Events through television are more vivid than those through books and magazines. Second, television helps us enrich our spiritual lives. Our knowledge is broadened in many ways. Through language teaching programs, we can learn the language we like such as: English, French, German, Chinese, Japanese and so on. We can become skillful and clever at doing jobs, making cakes or arranging flowers through practical courses taught on television. Finally, television is a source of recreation. Humorous stories and funny films bring us minutes of relaxation after a hard day’s work. For me, sitting comfortably in an arm-chair to watch an international football match on television is more interesting than having to queue for tickets at a crowded stadium. Apart from its advantages, however, television also brings lots of disadvantages to viewers too. First, television viewers gradually become passive in their action. Television may be a splendid media of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other or with the outer world. The world seen through television is only the restricted one: It separates us from...

This report’s purpose is to recommend various media options that can give positive exposure for the program. It will present advantages and disadvantages of three media options: newspaper, television, and social media.

However, we’re not exposing much of Grant MacEwan’s Bachelor of Commerce to prospective students.

People don’t just read about current events, they experience them in real time. Television can also be a fine teaching tool – there are many television shows on the air that are informative and educational. The right television shows can teach our children about morals and values as well as right from wrong. Educational television is not only for children however; Public television as well as cable television channels such as National Geographic and The History Channel serve as learning tools for adults. In fact many colleges and universities use local channels to provide distance learners the opportunity to attend lectures given on television. Along with the advantages listed above there are also disadvantages to television. First the same proliferation of new channels that provides additional educational opportunities also provides opportunities for children to be exposed to more inappropriate content than ever before. It is not uncommon for children to have access to movies and programs intended to be viewed only by mature audiences. While technology has been put into place to help conscientious parents censor the channels and shows their children can access, these methods are far from fool proof and they are only as effective as the parents who choose whether or not to utilize them. 02...
