Television is one of the greatest inventions of all time. For example, at 2.56 am Greenwich Mean Time on July 20, 1969, we were able to watch in our living room. Neil Armstrong step out of the lunar module of the Apollo 11 spacecraft and haltingly walk on the surface of the moon. we were witnessing a milestone in the history of humanity. Such is the potential power of TV to inform, inspire, and unite.
Yet, in its current state, TV produces more problems than it offers blessing. the first problem is no matter how noble our intentions are to watch only worthwhile programming, once we start watching, it is all too easy to become ensnared in its almost hypnotic power to keep us watching regardless of the banality of the content.
TV also decrease one's attention span and weakens one's imagination. It weakens our attention span because we grow used to quick,short bursts of information. As a result, we grow impatient if it takes a while to make a point. TV weakens our imagination because everything is portrayed for us. All we have to do is sit back and observe someone else imagination. Books are just the opposite. They increase our attention span and help to develop your imagination.
Besides the hypnotic like effect it has, another major problem is the way it is use by those who own and run television stations and networks. TV is not made to entertain, educate, or enlighten us. it is made to sell products and services. Woman are forced to go to work and children see less and less of their parents, all so we can buy more of the stuff TV tells us.
