Cord Cutting and what its doing to Cable Companies
You may not know what cord cutting is but you or your parents may have participated in this new trend on how you access your entertainment. Before Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime you probably watched your favorite television networks through cable t.v maybe with a dish or a t.v box.

Pros:
-You're saving $20-$100 a yea if you switch to streaming platforms depending on what kind of bundle or packages you have with your cable provider.
-Unlike cable tv you little to no advertising which really is a blessing if you hate having commercials ruining your watching tv time.

-Unfortunately streaming services will not have every tv show or movie that you please to watch so it is slightly limited on what kind of content that is being put on the service.
-You won't be able to watch tv if there's no wifi which really is a bummer - but with cable tv for the most part you're still able to watch television.
-It does get a little pricey if you have maybe more than three streaming platforms - also it starts getting a little inconvenient when you find yourself switching from one streaming service to another because it doesn't have a show you want.
