Watching TV
A television is meant for both entertainment and knowledge.
There isn’t a house without television these days. People of all age groups
prefer watching TV when they are at home.
Television gives us great entertainment. Different programs
like movies, daily serials, cartoon shows, music, news, documentaries, sports
and reality shows are telecast on TV. People are very attracted to these
programs and watch them for several hours forgetting their problems and
worries. Children and youngsters are especially fascinated to watching
television. They find it interesting.
Besides gives us entertainment, a TV gives us great
knowledge about what is happening around the world through news channels. We
also get the knowledge of various things like agriculture, farming, nature,
weather, business, education, finance, government, wildlife, health, devotion
and so on. Now-a-days some channels are also coming up with classroom teaching
on various subjects. Thus a television is a blessing in our house.
Unfortunately, a TV can also harm us if we do not utilize
it properly. For example, if children watch TV for long hours, their
eye sight gets affected, they ignore their studies, their thinking ability becomes weak, and they
can also become lazy, stubborn and disobedient. These demerits make TV a
harmful device in our house. TV also promotes violence and hatred which can
influence children and young people negatively.
Therefore it depends on how we utilize a television in our
house. Let us not get addicted to watching TV. Instead, let’s watch it to gain
knowledge and sufficient entertainment.
