                                                                        Hot-Cool Binary Model
        Looking back on binary models, I figured I needed some reviewing. Now, I understand the difference between one of the binary models (hot/cool) a lot better. When you need your full attention to do something, it should be hot; for example, a book. If it's cool, then it doesn't require as much attention, such as music or television. While you're listening to music, you can play a video game or watch television . This is very interesting to me because when you're reading a book and your mind goes onto another topic, you can read for pages and have no comprehension of what you just read. Most people prefer the cool model because it doesn't require all your attention. You could wash the dishes or, give your dog a bath while catching up on the news. Most people these days agree that television is more convenient for their busy lives. Most people are juggling school, family, friends and extracurriculars. This continues and the categories may multiply as they get older. Television is quick and easy to obtain without much attention, while a newspaper can take up your whole morning. That is why I believe books will demassify as time goes on. Some of the generations to come may not learn the patience and have the focus to even read through a book with the growing popularity of the television.
