This article is about the switch that we all will be facing here in a couple of weeks, when the TV signals will no longer receive the analog signals. The article that appeared in the New York Times, written by William Kennard and Michael Powell, is written primarly to the people that are in charge of this switch happening. Kennard and Powell bring up the point that it is and will continue to be hard for those that are less fortunate to have a TV that has ditigal signals, be able to purchase a converter box.
This is a very important issue due to the fact that there could be anywhere between 4 and 31 million people that on Febraury 17th will be left looking at a blank television screen. The audienuce will need to take this issue under much consideration so that they will not have millions of people calling their offices complaining because they were not able to purchase a converter box, which can be hard to purchase.
This topic interest me to some degree because I am not 100% positive that my tv will be able to recieve the ditigal signals and I do not want to be left looking at a black screen when I am trying to procrastinate doing my homework.
