▶ Your Answer :
I agree it is much
more effective for people to learn by watching
television than by
reading books. Even though many people regard
televsion as a ‘idiot
box’, I think that is just regarding one of
disadvantages of
watching televison as an entainment tool. On the
other hand,
television has innumerable merits for the educational
purpose. And by
quoting some of its merits, this essay will
demonstrate its
superiority over reading books.
First, the
visuality of the television provides people a easier way to better understand
about a subject with the high quality videos and
many fascinating
computer graphics images.
For example, if a
student studies one of scientific subjects like the
the volcano
activity or the gravity activity, it would be much more effective for better
understainding to watch educational documentary videos with the vivid images of the volcano flowing down or an spaceship
rising up than by just reading the books.
Second, producing
a video is much cheaper and easier than publicating a book, thanks to many
useful video making tools provided on the web by uncountable video distributing
web sites like Youtube or PandoraTV to encourage the web-surfers to produce
useful and funny video contents available on the web and the Internet
television. Even now many internet users produce innumerable video
contents to share what they know about with others. For instance, If a working
woman wants to learn how to play a rock guitar after work, what she has to do
is only searching the videos by the Internet Television in which many rock guitar
players demonstrate their fantastic skills and explain how to better play the
guitar on the web, and download the video files, and finally play it. By the
emergence of the Internet and Internet Television, anytime we can learn
anything from the others on the
web.
Last, it will take
less time and money for a video producer to update the lastest informations on
the video than for a book publisher to
republish the revised
book. And this circumstance naturally leads the makers of the educational
contents into being preference toward producing an content by a video file. And
Finally, the customer can purchase a video content with an cheaper price than a
book which has the same topic or subject of the video content.
In conclusion,
with the fascinating visuality and the merit of fast and easy updatable
contents, I surely believe that people can learn more
by watching
television than just reading books.
