In this information originated society, gaining valuable resources is extremely important. Various methods exist to learn. One of the methods is reading books which was popular and widely favoured in the past. However, watching television is the most efficient method in modern society because of time efficiency and authenticity.
First of all, watching television helps people save time. When televisions were not invented and mass produced, people had no choice but to read every page of books in order to gain thorough details. After television was introduced, learning has developed to be carried in a shorter period of time and in an easier way. Sitting on the sofa, having snacks and discussing the provoked matters with families or friends are now a common scene of ordinary people's life. People do not have to be bothered to search the right book and allocate a specific time to concentrate and read. Televisions have brought people comfort and alleviated pressure for reading time.
Moreover, televisions provide a higher sense of realism and authenticity as people are being shown the evident videos of incidents. On the other hand, books claim to contain accurate and valid facts but no way exists for readers to prove it during reading but to hope and believe. Televisions broadcast vividly filmed clips, interviews of neighbours, witnesses and authorities and a narration of details of events. These techniques are achieved to enhance the conveyance of intensity and reality. Audience cannot possibly reject the facts provided. People learn instantly and memorably through watching televisions.
By taking advantages of televisions, people are advantaged with influential information and knowledge gained quickly and formidably. The saying "seeing is 100 times better than hearing" emphasises the power of television as it allows audience to achieve both simultaneously. High advanced technologies like televisions are invented for the sake of people's quality of life thereby improving the level of knowledge.
