These days the number of people who are interested in television is increasing in every year in Korean society. Regarding this issue, some people prefer to using TV as an educational purpose, while others prefer to utilizing it as an entertaining purpose. As far as I concerned, my view on this is that television should be used to entertain people rather that to instruct them.
The one reason for this that TV can relieve our stress from works and studies. In particular Korea where I was born and live now was an extremely poor country at the time of the Korean War. But it has rapidly developed over the last few decades. In the process the competition has become fiercer, so most of students study all days until lat night to enter the top university. As a result, most students are suffering from their stress. As we all know, when we watch TV, all things we have to do is just pushing a button of a remote controller. We do not need to think about serious problems such a class assignment, GPA, and getting a paying gob. For there reason, I think television should be employed for entertainment.
The another reason for this is that TV is not suitable device for instruction. This is because Television is an one-way device, while Computer is a two-way device. What I mean is that we can communicate with TV by an only one direction, but the website can do by two directions that is giving and taking. For example, when we watch TV, only TV can give their thoughts to us, while we can not give our thoughts to the person who is in TV. As we all know, when we teach or learn something, the feedback is very important for achieving a goal successfully. Without that feedback, we can not know whether a student understood or not.
All things considered, I think TV is fit for entertaining mainly due to the fact that it can get rid of stresses and is not proper for an instruction. |
