 In the twenty-one generation, technology brings us more convenience. The reason is we pursue more progress and fast at this moment. The past century, we do not think can communicate and participate with the television activity. However, we can through Internet to participate and communicate with the television. It is because Within the article “Watching Television Without Pity: The Productivity of Online Fans” by Mark Andrejevic, so many television shows have created official web sites, so that the television audience and some incorporate the comments of online fans that are encouraged to e-mail comments and requests while they watch. In this article the central argument is more and more television show wanted to communicate and interactive with the audience. In my opinion, I agree this article central argument. Therefore we can find a lot of television show should create their official website. For example in Hong Kong the famous television show is TVB. This official website without replay their television program, they provide some message board to give the audience make some comment of their television program and sometimes

  In this article, they use the “TWOP” example to support their analysis. “TWOP” is a website that provided detailed recaps of select television dramas, situation comedies and reality TV shows. This website is look like the TVB website is give the audience provide their comment. Also, this website would hold some program to give the audience vote select their favorite. This activity purpose is attract more audience participate their television show and increase their reputation.

  “The advent of interactive media highlights what has been true all along: that all audiences are active, although perhaps not in the progressive sense the term has come to imply.” Mark Andrejevic, (p.25). This prove the audience is hope communicate with the television show. The hope the television can make some change when the television show watched their comment.

  In the conclusion, I think interaction with the audience is indispensable factor. Although someone would think it is the business practice but the interactive is very important in this easy to contact Internet generation. However, how long wills the persistence of this activity last?
