Television has become increasingly influential in our lives. However, it tends to turn us into passive observers as very few of us consider the question - is TV healthy or harmful?
Actually, evidence can be found to support both views.
On the positive side, TV can provide us with the latest news, keeping us up-to-date. It can also save a lot of time compared to reading newspapers and it is more environmentally friendly as we are saving our valuable resources too.
It also provides students with another source of knowledge besides textbooks. For example, ETV has a lot of popular study material and animations make learning from the TV more engaging.
Apart from this, TV provides entertainment. Nevertheless, the medium may have harmful effects.
People may become lazy or they may be affected by violent or explicit material.
