Commonly, people have two main opinions about the most wide spread invention called television that nowadays could be seen in every house. The first opinion of television said that television is a good thing because it gives us very big amount of information. Then the rest said television is dangerous because it destroy family life and any sense of community. Instead of visiting someone or talking with the other family members, people just watch television. Personally, I agree with the first opinion. Television becomes an important part of human life that gives people so many advantages since it found.
Television is the best media that give people very big amount of information every day. They could know what is happening around this world by watching television because it provides the latest world news every day. The programmes that served the world news are CNN, BBC and also Metro TV. Instead of reading newspapers and magazines, finding the latest news on television is more realistic and faster because television use satellite so that it can broadcast live at the moment when something happen and also served with pictures and sounds. For example, when tsunami destroyed Aceh in 2004, most of the Indonesians and people around the world know that disaster happen from television that made other countries also helped Indonesia to rescue the victims.
Television also provides educative programmes for all age groups from child to adult such as National Geography, Discovery Channel, Animal planet, Science Today and Disney’s Playhouse. By watching those programmes we could learn more about the world history and treasure, the way animals’ life, the latest scientific invention nowadays etc. Also the parents could still communicate with their children by accompanying them to learn something by watch educative programmes for children. Children can learn much from this, such as talking, remembering alphabets, calculating simple numbers, finding objects and finding the difference between two or more objects.
Last but not least, television doesn’t destroy the family life it is just exactly unites all of the family members to sit in the living room and watch television together. Families all around the world usually spend their quality time together by watching television. Here, they can choose the programme that they all like and discuss them such as cartoons, family movies and quiz shows. They can still have fun and do not have to spend a lot of money to have their quality time together. This can improve the relationships between family members and obviously doesn’t destroy any sense of communication.
In conclusion, television is not bad thing as long as people use it wisely. It gives people so many advantages and changes their life better.
