Almost everywhere people go today there are TVs: in restaurants, schools, doctors’ offices, and homes. There is no way to escape the reach of technology. Barbara Ehrenreich, the author of The Worst Years of Our Lives, believes that people are becoming couch potatoes because they are not going out and doing the activities they see on TV. Generally, Ehrenreich is correct in her belief; people spend more time watching TV, than living a healthy lifestyle and interacting with the people around them.

Even though the TV was primarily used for taking Marty’s commands, the fact that it was moveable was quite bewildering to

Nearly all of American households hold television sets, and a majority of those households have more than one set. It has greatly evolved since its invention in the late 1920s, and is now everywhere in the modern world - even in our pockets, in the form of smart phones. Throughout the poem, Dahl uses different tones to inform his audience that the television is not as great as it seems - whether it be a serious, warning tone or a sarcastic, humorous and over exaggerated tone. The constant and almost

In the essay "The Worst Years of Our Lives", Barbara Ehrenreich claims that television is having a negative impact on its viewers and turning them into a type of root vegetable, potatoes. Ehrenreich claims that television is suppose to show what people do everyday, but it does show what people do most on a daily basis, which is watching television.
