What would you choose for getting information : Television vs. Book |
There are many merits of a television and a book that you cannot contrast. For instance, television is able to give you faster information than book, but you will find more accurate and detailed informations in a book. Personally, I prefer book rather than television in order to gain knowledge.
First of all, books are more accurate and detailed than televisions. Let's say that there was a major nuclear explosion in Seoul. In television, announcers would make a quick report. And because this is literally 'quick' report, reporters would just go to the place where the explosion had happened and simply report what they see, such as 'There, you can see the mushrooming cloud!'. The advantage of television report is that it is fast. You cannot publish a book about the nuclear explosion as fast as the quick report. Nevertheless, quick reports are mostly inaccurate. This is the reason why the news usually do an apology about the wrong information after a few days. On the other hand, let's look at a book about Seoul's nuclear explosion. It would surely be much slower than the television. However, it would be more accurate and detailed. Scientists will go investigate the scene of the incident, and conclude why this horrible explosion had happened. They would publish a book about it, and probably include what not to do to prevent it. After that, television would do an accurate report based on that book. Although television report might be faster, but books are more accurate, and have specific details.
Additionally, you can get information from book whenever and wherever you want. That is, television doesn't usually telecast same program over and over. The viewers will easily get bored. On the contrary, you can read a book and get information despite the handicaps of time and space. Television controls you, but you get to control the books. If you gained knowledge by watching television and you forgot it, then you must go online to find out what it was. But, if you got that information from the book, you can just look it up in that book when you forget it.
In conclusion, informations from televisions may have advantage of speed, but those from books are more accurate, and have more specific details than from televisions. Also, I can get information from book whenever and wherever I want. Therefore, I prefer getting knowledge from the books rather than from the television. |
