There might be different opinion over whether the television has had a greater effect on people's lives than the telephone has. Personally, I strongly agree with this statement for the following two reasons. First, television plays a key role in the development of industry. Moreover, TV is most effcient media to get information.
First of all, TV has brought to industrial development. Today, TV is related in every areas of modern industry. Some people might say that telephone affect on industry more than TV because it allows people to communicate each other. However, the effect of telephone is minute comparing to one of TV.
For instance, TV creates a significant number of job opportunity iin the field of TV station and manufacturing factories. In TV station, there are a lot of people, producer, writer, and actor hired to make TV programs. Moreover, to make the television set, a great number of related industrues like glass and electronics should cooperate each other, which led to development of industry. In this regard, TV plays a pivotal role in industrial development.
In addition, TV provide people with a wide variety of information and knowledge. Today, people are driven by their hectic schedules. Therefore, there is no enough time to read books. Instead, this time-pressed people get well summarised information by watching TV. According to the recent research released by the Korean National Research Center, more than two thirds of the surveyed people mentioned that they use TV to get precious information. Based on this study, TV is most important media for modern people to learn knowledge and broaden because they usually spend their past time watching televicion. Thus, TV is a way to broaden people's perspective toward world. However, telephone is only used to communicate with intimate relationship such as friends and family members. Considering to the wide variety of the information through television program, the power of TV should be regarded highly.
In sum, I firmly agree with the statement that TV has affeced the people' lives rather than teleohone on the ground that it has led the surprising development of industry. Furthermore, TV is the most efficient media to get information for time-pressed modern people. |
