Television nowadays has become a basic needs in people’s live. In this information technology (IT) era, television is a very supportive and helpful device in order to accomodate people with information. Information is needed to support people with direction to keep moving. In every sector such as economy, social, politic, etc, the situation is dinamically changed everyday and everyhour. Television also can entertain people. Sometimes it can be a good hideaway from the exhausting activity, like a coffee shop you’d like to visit in your spare-time. Television changes many things, almost everything, including the lifestyle.
Back then, in our country, Indonesia, people knows almost everybody who lives in their neighborhood. They’re supporting each other, and helping each other. Peoples relationship is closed one to another. Indonesian even have their own words for that, such as “tenggang rasa” and “gotong royong”. In english, we can describe it as fraternity. It’s a very beautiful way of living. Awfully, people is sort of losing this kind of habit now, and television is believed as one of the most responsible in this case.
Television channels is responsible to make social relationships less interesting compared to watching them. There is less of talking among family members. Although people can watch television together, it is usually just happen a little chat between them. Usually, there is not much interaction happen. Many of the programs is produced by the country that have a very different culture with the viewers, and people from every level of age can watch. Sometimes it brings bad effect. It means, television provide people with not only information they need, but also they don’t. It flows away the time unconsciously, so people don’t have enough time to socialize. And it leads peoples relationship to become widened one and another.
Beside of social, television also affect people in personal. The information technology is developing so fast, but human physical ability and endurance is not. Before the era of information technology, children have needs to go out and play games outside the house with friends. The playing activity gives good effect to the children. It involves more physical movement, which is healthy. But now, children rarely move out of their homes. So they are not only losing crucial interaction with the friends of their age, but also the physical exercise that they gain from the games. The result, you often find many child obese and having health problems. In many other case, it also happen to adults. People’s lifestyle is getting more and more unhealthy.
Although there are some things that have to be regretted, it is basically impossible to get rid of television from peoples live. Peoples have huge needs of information. What people can do is minimize the negative effect with their proper self-control. More exercise and outdoor activity have to be done in the spare-time. And also, most important, it must be reassured that social aspect of human lives is precious, and not to be forgotten.
