Whether we realize it or not, TV plays a very important part in our lives. It’s the main source of information and a cheap form of entertainment for millions of people. It’s the window on the world which gives us an opportunity to “travel” all over the world, to “meet” different people and learn about their customs and traditions. It has the power to educate and broaden our minds.
It helps us to relax after a hard day’s work and escape from reality.
There’s always a great variety of programmes on TV: news and sports programmes, talk shows and TV games, documentaries and feature films, concerts and theatre performances… Of course, not all programmes are good. But many are made in good taste and with great professional skill.
Some people argue that television is a terrible waste of time. It makes us lazier. We stay at home instead of going out. We read less. We think less. We even talk less. It’s true that some TV addicts spend hours watching whatever’s on – from second-rate soap operas to silly commercials.
Violence on TV is another problem that worries people, as TV teaches us “how to kill, to rob, to shoot and to poison”. The same can be said about computer games and many films and books. And if you don’t like a certain programmme, why watch it?
