Television: an idiotic box or a harmful box?

Television is the greatest wonder that science has given us. It is only thanks to this device that we can watch interesting programs like songs, movies, plays, serials, dramas and serials sitting on our sofa at home. It is not only used for entertainment purposes but also for education.

Currently there are many programs on television where we can learn many different things or aspects that are related to us through documentaries. They are very informative and through these documentaries you can learn about nature, wildlife, the stories of our civilization and many other things. Through television we can have direct knowledge of anything and it helps us to learn things since we can observe the unknown with our own eyes.

Watching television is the greatest recreation of all and we can watch a lot without getting bored. It also gives us the opportunity to see “Exclusively Live” things that are happening around the world. Includes live action from the world of sports or any other event on the news channels. The world becomes very small and is closely connected with us thanks to the help of this device. It is a powerful means of mass education and also helps raise public opinion. Like a pen, it is a more powerful medium.

However, after so many wonders that are made possible by this very device, some people still know it as Idiot a box. There are advantages and disadvantages attached to it.

Watching television is like an addiction and forces people to watch it and it is also accompanied by other vices, including ignorance of homework. One has to sit idly in front of the “idiot box”, that is, the television while watching it. Excessive television viewing also impairs a student’s ability to learn, particularly if the person is very young. A person becomes more prone to audiovisual learning techniques and the person’s ability to acquire knowledge by simply reading decreases.

Young people are generally very fond of action movies and ghost stories, and watching these things on TV makes them more gullible and vulnerable. They start to believe in those unreal objects more than they believe in the things that are happening in their real world. Action movies can affect young minds badly and they become more prone to violence and this leads to their inclination towards violence which can lead to a lot of problems when they become adult human beings. It would also be very bad if these young people are exposed to adult material while they are still young.

Excessive TV watching is also bad for your eyes and can even lead to blindness in the future. Many students need programs from a very young age, sometimes it is also a result of watching television.
