The advancement of technology brought television, where the audio visual was possible altogether, made communication more engaging and approachable. People can listen and watch the news, dramas. For instance, In recent entertainment survey in the American Communication institute in 1960, the use of radio has been decreasing over past few decades and 60% people found television more entertaining because of quality of sensory experience.
Theatre was always people’s favorite media to convey the feelings among the couples. Many people still enjoy the performances of Romeo & Juliet in theatre. The live performance, acting and music attracts people. However, it is still not widespread because of high cost and availability of tickets, limited seats at the venue, and limited days of performance. Because of these reasons some people prefer to stay at home and watch TV rather than going to theatre, which is more affordable and convenient option. We can just plug it and just watch the performance in our home without any extra cost and travel.
Overall, TV has the significant role in the transferring information because of its availability and affordability. Many people believe that tv is more interactive source of conveying data in comparison to radio and theatre.
