The theory I will be using for this blog is the Social Learning Theory. The Social Learning Theory is based on how people learn by watching others and observing their behaviors. When we are watching television, we are observing what they do and can mimic what they have show, such as, a cooking show. People watch others prepare meals to be able to learn how to make it for themselves. People may also do that when others are fighting or hurting each other which shows there may be a negative side to television. However, television doesn't actually teach you how to hurt someone, young ones are easier to view and react. It also works by people using work out videos and video games like with the Wii and Xbox Kinect since they are moving to your movements because you have to mimic what they're doing.
I think in the future, there will be more things on television in which people can mimic that will be easier to understand. Technology keeps growing and will keep going to try to make people's lives easier. The future holds a lot for television to where it could be a good thing to watch it instead of reading books. More people can learn if they are able to see it, at least for me it is. To try and learn a recipe, for me, I need to have a picture to be able to see what it should look like. Its easier for me to be able to see a meal being cooked instead of reading instructions. Television may end up being a projector screen where it comes out, so that way it would be the perfect way to imitate since its right there. People want to learn things if it comes easy to them, thats why I think television will be able to help us out in the future.
