The TV looks bad, because the vision is spoiled, and the TV takes a lot of time in your life, because it causes addiction.
It’s no secret that for most people, TV remains the main source of information and impressions, and at the same time and favorite entertainment. Neither the Internet nor print media can replace television in full. The evening spent in front of the TV is the most popular type of recreation.
However, is it a rest? There are a lot of channels, the TV program is vast - but finding something really interesting is not easy. Especially if you just switch channels back and forth. The ubiquitous advertising makes choice even more difficult - it is impossible to understand what kind of transfer is going on at the moment, and wait for the end of the ad unit not all have the patience. As a result, people usually look horrible, quenching the informational hunger with tasteless and harmful "dishes." The result of this pastime is often fatigue - and the belief that there is "absolutely nothing to see" on TV.
Meanwhile, it is enough to take the position of a competent consumer in relation to television - and you will find that watching TV can be interesting and useful. And the program of telecasts will help you with this. It is printed in many newspapers and magazines - but do you often use it? If not, it’s in vain. Instead of clicking every evening with boredom or irritation with the buttons of the console - plan your communication with the "blue screen" for a few days ahead. After reading the program, you are sure to find something worthwhile there.
"Why do you need television, if now you can buy any movie on the disc and watch in good quality and without advertising?" It’s so. But on TV sometimes show something that is difficult to find on sale: for example, rare or old movies. They are not very popular, and you will not have to look into one DVD store before you leave them. So, {the TV program} deserves careful study: if you see a similar film there, try to take advantage of the chance.
If you heard good reviews about a film, but did not go to the cinema - do not miss the opportunity to watch it on TV. Yes, you have to accept advertising, but if you really like the movie, and you want to include it in your home collection - buy a DVD and review it for your own pleasure. And if you do not like it or it turns out to be "one-off", then you have saved yourself from unnecessary expenses.
Television - this is not only news, advertising and endless series. Analytical and popular science programs, documentary films, live broadcasts of cultural, sports and political events - the program of TV shows is rich and diverse. With a reasonable approach, the TV can become a source of really interesting information and vivid impressions - pleasant and useful viewing!
Now let’s talk about the shortcomings:
News, analytical and documentary programs demonstrate how the world is bad and difficult to live. Cataclysms of nature, wars, political games, a survey of the standard of living in different countries - all these issues and reports set the person on the negative. Even if everything in his life is calm and quiet, reflections on the global problems of mankind lead to the thought that there is nothing good around.
Regular and long time at the screen leads to an increase in excess weight. A person spends less time outside, less engaged in sports, and watching TV, often eating something.
Information transmitted through the screen to the spectators’ heads is often distorted and filed in such a way as to provoke certain reactions and behavior. Therefore, to some extent, the TV really "zombies" people.
The TV reduces the person’s mental capacity, and prolonged and regular viewing leads to degradation. The picture is presented in the simplest way so that you do not have to think. Over time, the brain can forget how to think clearly.
Watching television takes precious life time. Many people unconsciously reach for the console, turn on the background and do not notice how long hours pass that could be spent with much greater benefit.
But in general it’s your business to watch TV or not!
