Television plays a very important role in our life. This constant source of entertainment and information, a window through which the whole world can enter our homes. Some people consider the best pastime of their free time for watching entertainment programs, while others believe that it is better to watch political and educational programs. We can see a lot of really interesting programs: information, music, sports, for children and adults.

But what did we do before the appearance of television? Before we let the "one-eyed monster" into our homes, it was never difficult for us to take our free time. We had the opportunity to enjoy the achievements of Civilization. For example, for us it was in the order of things to have a hobby, entertain our friends and entertain ourselves, go to theaters, cinema, participate in hikes and sports competitions. We even had a habit of reading books and listening to music. All this belongs to our past. Now all our free time is regulated by the "box of miracles". We rush home and in a hurry to absorb food, in time to have time to this or that program. We even stopped sitting at the table and have a leisurely dinner, exchanging news for the day. The monster demands and receives absolute silence and attention. If a family member dares to open his mouth during the program, he is quickly silenced.
