Television is now playing a very important part in our life.But television,like other things,has both advantages and disadvantages.Do the former outweigh the latter?
In the first place,television is not only a convenient source of entertainment,but also a comparatively cheap one.For a family of four,for example,it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home,with almost unlimited entertainment available,than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere.They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre,the cinema,or the opera,only to discover,perhaps,that the show is disappointing.
All they have to do is press a button,and they can see plays,films,operas,and shows of every kind,not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting.football match.Some people,however,maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies.The television viewer takes no initiative.He makes no choice and exercises no judgment.He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.
Television,it is often said,keeps one informed about current events,allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics,and offers an endless series of programmes which are hoth instructive and entertaining.The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one's stitting-room.It could be argued that the radio performs this service just as well； but on television everything is much more living,much more real.
