Well, I believe that watching TV has benefited me in some ways, but it has also had some detrimental consequences. As I was born and raised in a small country, there were many places and things I had no opportunity to experience. Most of the time, I was very busy with my studies, but TV helped me to see them. However, spending too much time in front of the TV also made me addicted to it and, unfortunately, harmed my eyes. So I have had to wear glasses since my school life.
