No T.V.'s?

     Watching television is looked at as something that wastes people time, but also something that  people love to do in their free time. I feel that television to an extent is good for people. Depending on what they watch and how many hours a week they spend watching it, i feel that it can actually be a good thing for people.
     If you are watching channels like the discovery channel or the news, I think that you can learn from those channels. If people were just sitting there watching cartoon and MTV or reality shows, then I could understand why people think it is so bad. I agree that people should be more active in today's day and age. More and more people are starting to rely on technology so much more now that is getting much More advanced. If this argument was about stuff like facebook, then i would have to agree that it is totally a waste of time. T.V. can actually teach you stuff about many things and keeps you up to date on local and worldwide news. Television can actually be a big help. T.V. send out warnings for thunderstorm and bad snowfalls to help people out before it actually comes. Also, T.V. can update you on many other things such as political campaigns and major sporting events.
     All in all i feel that T.V. is not as bad as everyone puts it our to be. T.V. can actually be a big help for people, especially ones that can't do anything such as handicapped people or people who just got out of surgery or something. T.V. is one of the biggest things in today's society and will be that way for rest of our lives.

  1. I agree that you can become more educated by watching television shows such as: the news, the discovery channel, etc. But if one is watching cartoons or reality shows, then it can become useless.

  2. I agree with you too. There are also television shows on Nick Jr. and Disney Channel that help young children learn their shapes and colors.
