Initially, I was hesitated to conduct the study as I have become progressively more reliant on technology for its great efficiency and convenience brought to my life. Therefore, I chose the option of 1992 in which telephone and cable TV still within the option of entertainment to increase my chance…

In the average hour of television there are around fifteen and a half minutes of commercials and advertisements, which mean an American watches about an hour and a half of commercials everyday (Flint).

The telephone was needed to communicate with others at important times and at long distances quickly and cheaply. It also was used to talk with friends or family more often.
