in recent years television has become the most popular form of entertainment. it does not look as if it will be less popular in the world of the future. in fact, it looks as if television will become more popular than ever.
but television, like other things, has both advantages and disadvantages. for a fam ily of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available. they do not have to pay for ex pensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. all they have to do is to press a button.however, some people spend a lot of time watching tv every day. they become so dependent on tv programs that tv affects their work and study. some programs such as violence or sex have a pernicious influence on children.
do the television's advantages outweigh its disadvantages? i think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor had, but how to use it is what really cotmts.
