TELEVISION: HOW IT AFFECTS US

Television really affects people’s lives. Television can be very helpful to certain people who carefully choose the TV programs that they watch. TV can increase people’s knowledge of the outside world, through education channels(such as: discovery channels), art channels (tv 5), healthy life’s channels, and edutainment channels( such as: baby tv, nickelodeon, disney, and who wants to be a millionaire). Moreover, television entertains almost elderly people who can’t often leave the house.

On the other hands, there are several disadvantageous to television. One of them is people are addicted to it. People often feel powerful need to watch “boob tube” even if they don’t enjoy it. Recent studies show that people spend almost six hours or more a day watching the television. They stare at TV screen for more hours every single day than they do anything else, including studying and sleeping. This fact prove that people is now addicted to television, although they don’t believe it.

There are not so many good programs shown on TV I think.
