Humans are naturally social and want to share their experiences, thoughts and feelings. One of the many benefits of television viewing is those watercooler moments that are shared together. TV fosters emotional connections and nothing entrenches those connections better than conversations with friends or family. With TV creating such a strong shared experience, it becomes the best possible context for advertisers who also want to create an emotional connection with their audiences.
