Television is Good for You! (Imran)

There is always this debate if television is beneficial or detrimental. The emergence of a television in our household is a norm for half a century now. In fact, where else would the couches in our living room would be pointed at other than the television? To answer the question if it brings good or bad to us depends on how we use it. Inevitably, television brings us a lot of benefits in our day-to-day life.

            Television is a good medium to convey messages since everyone uses it or at least a vast majority. Important government messages can be relayed to inform the public if any endemic happens. News that are broadcast also give information to the viewers on any recent local and global updates that might be important to them. Because of this, viewers are well informed of what is happening around them in real-time unbounded by regional boundaries.

            Educational content is also broadcasted on television. Now everyone has access to educational content. It provides the views with general knowledge that is useful in their day-to-day life. It also acts as a catalyst for young children to dream on what they want to be in the future. We never know what would come out in the television and sometimes something we didn’t expect to learn is broadcasted.

            In conclusion, we cannot really see any drawbacks from watching television. Even if you binge watch it, still it makes you happy. Isn’t that positive? If we do it in moderation, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. That is why it is still here for more than half a century.
