Today, the ongoing controversy exists all over the world whether Television has destroyed communication among friends and family.It is undeniable that many people spend the bulk of their time on watching television but this activity provided many topics about what family and friends mainly talk.Moreover it is not television that destroy communication among family but Internet does.
To start with, television gives many topics that enable people to talk about.It is very tiresome to keep on talking about one topic.Therefore they need to change the topics after a few minutes while they are communicating.Variety of topics and subjects that people mainly talk about are broadcasted through television.Moreover,in school,home as well as workplace they share their thoughts and opinions regarding as those topics.For example,at my home, I am not able to communicate with my parents because I am too busy for studying.However whenever exciting and shocking news are broadcasted, my parents call me to watch television together.So it is the only time that I share my thoughts about the news.
In addition, it is wrong assumption that television cuts down the relationship between family and friends.It helps us to gather in front of television and talk together.The factor that destroys the communication is Internet.These days, the advancement of Internet made easier for playing game,surfing and watching movies.Therefore many people spend bulk of their time on sitting on chair in front of computer alone.This triggered people to stay at home and they are not likely to move out to enjoy outdoor activities with friends.
I want to illustrate this opinion with example.I had the best friend in middle school before he was addicted to Internet.He was always ready to play with me and never refused whenever I asked to come out but after he was addicted to use of Internet, he never came out to play ourdoor activity with me.As time goes, our relationship weakened and we stopped keeping in contact.
To sum up, I firmly believe people are misunderstanding that television is harmful machine.I asserts that the advantages of television outweigh disadvantages ot it.we need to appreciate for providing many topics. |
