Is TV a Plus or a Minus?
TV is not only a convenient and cheap service of entertainment, but also a splendid mass medium of communication. People only have to pay once to buy a TV set, then they can sit at home enjoying the items on TV. All they have to do is to pus a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. T V keeps us well informed about the current events at home and abroad and the latest development in science and technology. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into our room. On TV everything is much more living and much more real. As a matter of fact, it has become so much a part of human life that a modern world without television is unimaginable. Some people even say that life without television is not worth living.
Some people argue against TV. They think that TV viewers need do nothing. The viewer does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. Many people are glued to seats to look at the movements on TV. They become so dependent on its pictures that it begins to control their lives. As a result, TV is taking up too much of a person's life and making him lazy, not to mention its harmful influence upon him, such as the items of violence and pornography on television.
On the whole, there are more advantages than disadvantages in the use of TV. Different people may have different attitudes toward TV. But we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. Its value to people and society depends on how we look at it.
