...Tiffany O’Dillon Professor Rhym English 1101.13 19 February 2014 New Girl New Girl is based on a school teacher, Jessica Day (played by Zooey DesChanel), who after going through a rough breakup with her cheating ex-boyfriend Spencer, moves in with 3 single men whom she has never met before. One independent woman living with 3 unfamiliar men who isn’t thought less of for being a female, is a big step for American culture, considering back in our past, she would not have even been able to get an education to pursue her teaching career. Through 3 ongoing seasons, her best friend CeCe and her roomies, Nick, Schmidt and Winston, struggle to help her overcome it and teach her some things about life and along the way builds a family with them. Each episode Jess is experiencing her new single life with some tough reality tossed her way and pulls through with the help of her new companions. Nick, being the grumpier, emotional roommate, is a “cooler” for Jessica, as she is to him. He is a law school dropout that’s now a local bartender. Nick and Jess have an obvious connection that will evidently lead them together. Winston is a former (but still overly competitive) basketball player who doesn’t know what he should do with his life, but whatever it is he’s confidant to be the best. The last but maybe the best of Jess’ roommates, Schmidt, is egotistical, well groomed and well dressed, a high standard perfectionist, and germaphobe. Back in his college days he was fat, until he...

...“The Blacklist” In season full of mediocre (or worse) new shows, NBC's The Blacklist has been a nice surprise. When I saw the pilot, I thought it had no business being as rock-solid as it was, but I wrote off the show's long-term prospects because I didn't think James Spader was enough to carry the show on a weekly basis, and the ongoing story about Red and Elizabeth seemed pretty obvious. However, after catching up on the series this past weekend and watching Monday's "General Ludd," I realized that I was only partially correct. Spader is mostly up to the challenge as The Blacklist's centerpiece, and the ongoing story is pretty obvious, but the show has done quite a bit of legwork to keep it compelling in the first eight weeks. Although it's likely that the plum post-Voice time period gives The Blacklist most of its ratings juice, I'm no longer shocked that it's the season's biggest hit. Here's why. 1. A good balance of procedural stories and ongoing mysteries I've had a few discussions with friends lately about what it means to be a broadcast drama in 2013. One of the takeaways has been that, more often than not, when people think of a broadcast drama, they tend to focus on shows that are almost exclusively procedural, relegating the obviously "great" examples like The Good Wife or Scandal to a small group of outliers that are more often compared to "great" cable shows. And while I love the kind of intense serialized stories those series can tell, shows like The Blacklist prove...

...Use Voice, Gestures to Control TV a new wave of TVs this year will provide the option of using voice controls or hand gestures to navigate channels, change volumes or find the right content from broadcasts or the Internet. Samsung recently shipped new interactive TVs that not only recognize hand gestures, but also voice commands with the assistance of a "Smart Touch Remote" control. Lenovo hopes to go beyond voice and gesture recognition with a smart TV that is capable of quality gaming. Panasonic has already shipped some of its latest Viera TVs in the U.K. with Nuance Communications' Dragon TV platform, which allows users to speak out channel choices or Twitter updates. Samsung Smart TV Samsung a few weeks ago started shipping new TVs that users can control simply by speaking or moving their hands. The interactive TVs include the Smart Touch Control remote, which has a microphone to take in voice commands that are then transmitted wirelessly to a TV set. The TV responds to simple commands like "volume up" or "channel up." Saying "Web browser" opens up the browsing software, and users can also speak directly into the Google search box instead of typing. The remote and TV are linked via a long-range Bluetooth connection, and voice commands are helpful if a user is not in front of the TV. Beyond voice recognition, the TV also has gesture recognition features in which moving a hand in the air allows users to browse around and select features, much like the Nintendo Wii or Microsoft...

...Is TV Distancing People or Connecting People? (Rough Draft) Fred Allen, a comedian from the 30’s and 40’s, once said “Television is the triumph of machine over people.” In others words, Allen believes that television was made to control people; their decisions and to manipulate their opinions. Is television bad as they say? It has been a great debate trough the years. Dana Stevens; a movie critic and journalist for the “New York Times” suggests that watching TV only makes people want to watch more TV. She argues that commercials and programs on TV, including those focused on children, encourage people to watch more TV and to buy things. Thousands of programs being streamed every day in many countries are full of education and informative content. It demonstrates that TV is not bad; it has many advantages over other mass media. TV is a great tool of entertainment for people all around the world, it is a great tool of information that offers a great diversity of programs that help people to open their minds. According to some people, TV encourages people to be lazy and less productive because it does not involve any activity; the only thing they do is just sitting down and enjoy what is on TV. Many programs on TV are based on the happy-ending, it may cause people to lose the sense of reality and think that everything is perfect.

...TV Sales Fade Away Boxy TVs are a thing of the past and the new slim and sleek flat panel displays are the thing of the future, or are they? In the article “A Bonanza in TV Sales Fades Away” by Sam Grobart of the New York Times, Grobart talks about how the sales of televisions are slowing down. He backs up his statements by saying that TV makers are trying to persuade consumers to buy new sets by promoting new technologies such as 3-D and internet connections – features that have not generated much excitement so far. Per the article unit sales of LCD (liquid crystal display) and plasma TVs were up in the year 2010 by 2.9 percent from the previous year. This gain was considered to be tiny compared to the gain of more than 20 percent in each of the prior three years. Due to government-mandated switchover to digital broadcasting and the availability of HD (high definition) flat-panel television were on the rise. Now nearly two-thirds of households in the U.S have a flat-screen TV. It was thought that 3-D capabilities would gear consumers to buy more TVs but with having to buy other items such as 3-D Blu Ray players, 3-D media, and additional glasses in order to use the 3-D option, the sales decreased. The pricing concept was a big issue for TV makers. Per the article from 2007-2010 the average price of an LCD TV dropped 36.3 percent, according to DisplaySerch. Plasma TVs dropped as well by 51.6 percent in the same period. Since then TV makers have gotten a handle on what...

...THE FUTURE OF TV 1. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) - which takes place in Las Vegas every January - was this year dominated by one particular technology: the humble television. High-definition LCD TVs are quickly becoming yesterday's news, soon to be as out-of-date as the boxy TV that dominated our lounges a decade ago. Incoming is a scrum of new innovations. Manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, Sony, Toshiba, Sharp, Haier and Panasonic showed off Ultra Definition TVs, 4K Super HD resolution TVs, OLEDs, Super OLEDs, Crystal LEDs, auto-stereoscopic 3D TVs, gesture-controlled smart TVs and more at this month's CES. But what does all that jargon actually mean? And what about those rumors of future TV tech from Apple, as well as futuristic innovations such as roll able screens? Read on for a straight-talking guide to all you need to know about the future of TV tech. 2. 4K Super (or Ultra) High Definition TVs. These days, the vast majority of us enjoy movies, shows and games in the far-superior high-definition TV standards of 720p (a resolution of 1280 x 720 on-screen pixels) or 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels, often called 'Full HD'). The next major jump in picture quality is going to be 4K TV resolution. These screens (referred to variously as Ultra HD, Super HD or 4K Quad HD, depending on the manufacturer) will have a resolution of around 3840 x 2160 pixels. That's roughly four times more than current 1080p HD TVs. To put it another way, it's a TV image that is made up of eight...
