Television and telephone are two inventions that have brought significant
changes in human life. Both being two essential aspects in human life in these
days, people have conflicting ideas; while some people say that television has
had a greater effect on peoples' lives, other deem telephone has been more
significant. From my own point of view,
I agree with the former stand for several reasons. The first reason for my opinion that can be seen by every
person is that television is a great deliverer of information to the public.
Television enabled people to get sufficient knowledge about the world. By just
watching news or documentary programs, people can obtain both visually and
verbally oriented information ranged from old historical facts to the most recent
news. For example, when the tragedy of 9.11 happened in New York, USA, people
all around the world were quickly informed about it. It would have taken much
more time for the news to spread without television. Information can be passed
through telephone, but it has limits that recipients are private and the amount
of information passed through is less sufficient. Another equally important reason is that television became the
most popular form of entertainment. Television provides various form of
entertainment with such an easy access. People can turn Television on their
home and enjoy what's on the TV. For example, sports fans don't have to go to
watch games in stadium but they can watch all different games on live. Also,
people don't need to pay for expensive tickets to see their favorite singer,
but they can watch the same performance on television. Entertainment has become
one important factor in the modern society, and telephone lacks this function. Looking at all the statements above, there are many reasons to
be considered. However, I would say that television has brought more
significant on human life than telephone has, for television carries important
roles of informing and entertaining the public. |
