Part of the population suggests that, gazing on television makes a perfect form of leisure activity, on the contrary, other half says that it is pure misuse of one’s time. Both notions are right in their respective manner, but I am more lean towards the second statement, reasons for this will be elaborated further with my own opinion in conclusion.
To commence with, since the invention of TV in 1927, it has taken a special place in people’s heart and became the best mode for passing time. The creation of this device has proven to be highly useful, for instance; the mass distribution of knowledge and news became so efficient and cost effective. Entertainment industry prospered and enjoyed a boom up to this very day, but it has also caused it’s fair share of damage as well mainly to the health of children and adults in both physical and psychological manner.
Adding up, appropriately age people and even young ones fashioned a habit of spending considerable amount of their time in front of the TV screen, which ultimately resulted in a nurture of highly addictive urge of consuming content from television. As a result issues regarding eyesight and constant migraine started to show like never before. These new problems gave rise to a new name for TV and that was ‘idiot box’.
At last, after understanding the concerns and their causes, we can say that their is more harm coming from the motion picture box than good. And in my own views as well television does not provide any real advantage to us the only thing it does present is distraction.
