On February 17, 2009 all full-power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only in digital. Digital broadcasting will allow stations to offer improved picture and sound quality and additional channels.
Suppose some of us like our TV's just the way they are; what happens then? Is America actually a free country; 'home of the brave and the free?' What happen to our choices, our options? I am one of those people that like my tv just the way it is. In fact, I don't really have time to watch tv anyway. So why should I have to pay to have my tv changed over, if I so decided to watch it sometimes?
The same thing happened in our school district. A couple of years ago everyone employed by the system had to have their checks automatically deposited into a bank account, whether you wanted to or not. I feel that if you work hard and earn your money, you should be able to choose where it goes at the end of the pay period; whether in your pocket or to the bank.
