An Essay in favor of T.V.

The Positive Side of T.V.

During the first decades of the twentieth century, the television appeared thanks to the contributions of many great inventors and scientists. Like the rest of inventions, the television proves how far human imagination and creativity can go. Who would’ve thought someday we’d be able to watch moving images on a square-shaped device? People were amazed by the “magic” of T.V. Soon, families acquired the first television sets on sale, and after the invention of color T.V. it was more common to find at least one T.V. at home. Although people argue that there are many negative statements against T.V., I believe T.V. has provided us with more benefits rather than disadvantages. Among those good points in favor of television, we can mention that T.V. is a good resource to reinforce learning or to acquire new knowledge, and also we can learn what’s going on through the news, or we could simply have a good time.

As we all know, television provides a lot of useful information we could use, whether to learn something brand new, or to reinforce previous knowledge just by watching and listening carefully. There are plenty of T.V. shows that present us information on any particular subjects and themes. Take the Discovery Channel as a great example. We can learn about History, Science, Animals, Plants and the Human Body. Also, there are channels that grant us the opportunity to travel to foreign faraway countries and learn about their culture, their customs, their philosophy, etc; while we remain sitting or lying in our couch. With T.V. we can review what we have learned by watching those kinds of programs, but there are programs especially designed as a complementary resource of learning a new language for instance.

It is important for us to be have updated information about the events that occur in our Hometown, in the state we live, in our country and all around the world. We can achieve this, by watching the News on T.V. Aside from the internet; we can watch motion images of events at the exact moment they are taking place. That way, we are able to keep up with the most recent information we must know even if takes place in a far from were we live.

And last but not least, T.V. is one of the most popular means of home entertainment. We can watch all kinds of movies, T.V. shows, and concerts at home. If we come back from a hard day at work or at school, we can just kick off our shoes, sit on the couch and watch a funny T.V. series or movie of our choice and we’ll have a good time. Families and friends gather together to watch T.V. and enjoy each other’s company, that’s why we can say T.V. is an excellent option for leisure.

So, we can conclude, that T.V. offers many useful alternatives to mankind. We can choose to learn, to be informed or to enjoy a good movie or T.V. show.

Note: Why wouldn't I support T.V.? =)
