Watching TV has been very important to us in terms of many ways such as informative news and interestiong programs etc. However, it has had lots of side effects of watching television since we spent too much time on that, so I strongly agree that TV has ruined communication among family and friends.
First of all, we have missed our precious time with family due to watching TV. For instance, I remember that when I was a high school student, I hardly enjoyed watching TV because my family prefered having conversations to watching TV. I really liked to have a chat with my family whenever we got together, but since I entered my college, I had spent a lot of time watching TV. Then I realized that I felt distant with my family and didn't talk to them anymore. That's why I think television could make family lonely and distant.
Secondly, there is high possibility of lacking of communication, if friends spend time on watching TV without doing anything because we don't need to speak and share our emotion. We can either read a book and discuss it or talk about our daily life to each other insted of watching TV, and it is much more helpful for us because we can learn many things from others and get to know each other more.
In short, it is very significant to know that television gives us not only entertainment but also bad influence which prevents communication from people. As I mentioned before, I agree that TV has taken our conversation time among family and friends who are more important than TV.
