Influence of Television on a Person

What makes us glue to the TV screen and go to bed with a TV on? It's
quite time to break the habit and start reading something useful, for
example, the article about harm and advantages of watching TV.

In the twenty first century technology is developing very fast. Advanced
technological wonders still surprise us and make us wanting more and
more comfort that they create. One of them is television that became
popular all over the world now and there is no country, region or
village where people don't know what a TV is. It is also considered that
Television has both advantages and disadvantages and for one it is very
difficult to decide what to watch and if to watch at all. Certainly,
television is the main source of information. Daily people listen and
watch a short news sequence that provides us with the necessary
information and keeps informed during the day. Also, no doubt,
television is the way to entertain oneself, for it offers a variety of
possibilities to have fun sitting on your couch and relaxing. Another
way to capture people's minds on a live TV screen is advertisement.
Commercials have become inseparable part of broadcasting and live
coverage. Even favorite movies are interrupted by short ad. Though
commercials are what holds television together and there's nobody who
can prove this wrong. Besides there have to be some ways to show what
lies on the shelves at supermarkets. When it comes to disadvantages one
may prepare for a long story, but after all, despite these trifles we
continue to do it, no matter what we are said.

It is harmful to stay in front of the TV for a long time. It spoils our
eyes and health, doctors say. But the same thing happens when we read
articles or interesting narrative essays for a long time. Same story
with the computer, nothing harms our sight this much. As for the
information that we constantly see on TV, it is a miracle how one can
watch it without getting crazy. Indeed, if to watch three or more
reality shows in a row it makes you at first confused than frustrated
and then constantly unsatisfied and angry. It is also same story with
movies. It is almost impossible to find a movie without blood spilling
around and angry man fighting for God knows what. Of course a nice
narrative essay can be put aside when something similar comes up. Now
movies are rated, but who pays attention to that little geometric figure
in the corner of your screen? As soon as movie is good, nobody cares to
think about its influence on their children.

Television makes people physically inactive. It is impossible to stand
up and go for a walk when your favorite soap opera is coming up. You
leave everything undone and rush to see what happens next and stay glued
to the screen till it's over. Then another are another comes and you
slowly but surely turn into a couch potato with health problems as in
mental, as in physical field. What makes us glue ourselves to the TV
screen and go to bed with a TV on? It's quite time to break the habit
and start reading something useful, for example, the article about harm
and advantages of watching TV.
