In my opinion TV has an effect not only on the health level but on our communications with friends and family too.
Nowadays,every family can afford to have a TV-set in their homes. For the last 50 years television has become the center of attraction in many families. But what makes TV so popular? Is it really such a necessary facility?
Television plays an important part in our everyday life. We can't imagine spending spare time without it. Tv offers us a great variety of programs for all ages. They include comedies, soap operas, dramas, talk shows, horror films, documentaries, game shows and sport competitions. People of different interests can find anything to their taste. We can also be avare of the latest news in the world.
But on the other hand, TV may influence people in a negative way. Many people are glued to the screen. They watch series day and night. They forget to phone their friends and cancel meetings with them. It destroys friendship. As for families, you may loose contact with your relatives, which will cause misunderstanding and quarrels in many families. As far as I know, TV is harmful for our health, especially for our eyes, if you watch it more than 2 hours a day.
To sum up, the invention of television has changed our life. In my opinion it is useful and helpful for many reasons, but there is always a danger to become a TV addict. It is necessary to find a balance and know exactly when to switch it off.
