Television now plays such important role in so many peoples
lives that it is essential for us to try to decide whether its blessing
or curse. Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.
But do former outweigh latter?
Television, as it is often said, keeps one informed about current
events, allows one to follow latest developments in science and
politics, and offers endless series of programmes which are both
instructive and stimulating. most distant countries and strangest
customs are brought right into sitting room. It could be argued
that radio performs this service just as well; but on television
everything is much more living, much more real. Yet, here again there
is danger. television screen itself has terrible, almost physical
fascination force. We get so used to looking at its movements, so
dependent on its flickering pictures that it begins to dominate our
lives. friend of mine told me other day that his television set had
broken down and that he and his family had suddenly found that they
had far more time to do things, and that they had actually begun
to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesnt it?
There are many other arguments for
and against television. poor quality
of its programmes is often criticised.
It is undoubtedly great comfort for
many lonely elderly people. And does
it corrupt or instruct our children? I
think we must realise that television
in itself is neither good nor bad. It is
the uses to which it is put that determine
its value to society.
