Good and bad effects of television

If I say television is like a knife, I think it is right. We can use knife to cut an apple as well as to kill a person. Television is also like that. We can use it for good purposes as well as for bad purposes.

Now there are televisions in allmost all houses in the world. Now a television is just a matter of Rp 3000 or 5000 per a month. When John Loggie Beard invented the television, he only wanted to see the good side of it. So first I would like to talk about the advantages of a television. There are lot of precious programmes on television such as news, educational programmes, programmes about health and so on. There are also comedies, fun programmes, cartoons as well. Discovery is a very good programme which provides lot of information about the world.

Now there are flat television screens. So people don't have to go for film halls to watch certain films. They can stay at home and watch that film. There is dialog to which provides user a number of channels in the world. From that people can have fun and as well as they can gain knowledge. By watching television people can enhance their knowledge.

Now let me talk about the disadvantages of television. There are some programmes which ruin students' and small childrens' mind. Sometimes teenagers are going to experience them and at last they are ended up with a great disaster. In some channels there are some teledrams which are telecasted on all 5 days. If students get use to watch them, their future is in dark. They are just wasting their time by watching those.

Lot of professionals have told that 3 - 7 is the most valuable time for children to do their work. During that time also there are some programmes which are not suitable for children. It is parents' responsibility to put rules to their children and protect them. Students should be able to understand and to choose the programmes which suit them. There are lot of programmes in television. We should be able to choose correct programmes out of them. Programme operators too have a responsibility on doing this. They should minimize telecasting programmes which are not suitable for children during 3 - 7.

If we can use television in the correct way, we can gain lot of advantages from that. So we should be intelligent enough to do that.
