As a parent you read, and hear, all about restricting you child's viewing time of television. And I mean the kind of TV viewing that happens on a TV that still has channels, advertisements, a remote control and the screen is still likely to need dusting. You also are warned that too much computer time causes X and too much video game playing causes Y. yada, yada, yada....
I have always kept a pretty close eye on this stuff. B had never been one to watch TV that much, and we don't even have a gaming unit (handheld or otherwise). Since we home schooled and he did not use traditional books for a lot of subjects - he has always spent a fair amount of (supervised) time on the computer. (Which by the way, when you send them off for 6 hours a day to college campus, they can engage in computer screen watching as much as they like - you have very little say.) And now as a teen I think he watches more TV than ever. But that is not what this post is about.
This post is about me learning, yet another new thing this week. A local new 'tv' station approached me this week about advertising with them. I scheduled the appointment to meet with their marketing representative. It didn't take me long to realize I was out of the loop - WAY OUT OF THE LOOP!!! This woman was asking me to advertise on an internet TV superstation (one I will say is well matched to us in terms of their focus is strictly the county I like in - and want my students to come from). But who knew????
Thankfully when i have meetings like this I am able to listen more than talk and I got on this new page quickly and didn't make a fool of myself (too much of a fool of myself). Learning new things....sometimes puts you in that position.
Anyway...if you want to know what I'm talking about (which you probably do because you are way more on the ball than I) check out www.A2YP.TV and see what I learned about this week in this marketing world I am clearly behind in. I'm running to catch up....but B tells me by the time I get 'there' something new will be in the way.
