Advantages / Disadvantages of watching television


Advantages / Disadvantages of Watching Television


Nowadays, television has become the most popular media of human kind. It’s also the indispensable device in our daily life. By watching TV , we can see many things happened in the surrounding us world , therefore it help us to catch and avoid being dropped back from the world of information. Everyone must agree that the advantages of watching TV are very considerable .But beside those benefits , there are some disadvantages that we must notice to be sure that we watch TV most effectively.


Beginning from the first one, I must say that television is one of the most important invention in transforming information history . From very long ago, people had already known how to transform information in many different ways but only when the first television programme was broadcasted , a new age had begun , the age of image transformation. Television nowadays has been very popular, and almost every family have the access to it. By sitting ideally at home , watching TV , you can get a whole look all over the world. The appearance of television and television broadcasting enriches our entertainments . Many events and competition can be watched “live” and many exclusive movies are presented as well (although it’s a bit late in comparison with seeing those movies in the cinema) , but all are legal and you’re free to enjoy them. In addition, if you want to travel but do not have enough money, I suggest you can enjoy traveling in the TV (for example watching the discovery channel or national geography channel) , they’re screened 24/24.


Furthermore , the television deserve considered as the unlimited source of information . There are a lot of scientific channel which is suitable for all ages. Those are the fastest and cheapest way to improve your knowledge. Today, Television specializes into many channels , each channel satisfies the different audience’s view such as news , sport, and film . So that, we do not have to be a passive viewer. By pressing several simple buttons , you can see your appropriate programme that fit your taste.


Everything contains good side and bad side and television has no exception . Wasting time is one of the inherent disadvantage of watching TV. Let’s imagine : if one day , one person spends a hour watching TV without gaining any useful information , then in one year he will waste 365 hours and in 10 year is 3605 hours. With that time , you can learn several language as well as finish some studying course. On the other hand , television programme are not always suitable for all ages.Sometimes , there are some movies contain sexual material and violence which affected the stormy phase of growing of children and teenagers and should not be watched ,even by some adults. It will be extremely dangerous if parents neglect their children to discover the TV programme themselves as they will immediately take influence of what they see . To rectify this situation , parents must supervise their children ‘s TV watching throughout their childhood and adolescence period. In the aspect of health , spending hours watching TV is harmful to your eyesight . Why don’t play some sport and breathe the fresh air .When your eyes are tired , you ‘d better let them rest than continue to paste them in the screen.


In my summary, I have reached a conclusion that nowadays, television is indispensable Although it will be replaced by computer someday, but TV’s benefit to our life sill guarantee it as the most important device which people need , in order to be up-to-date.

MP3 players damage hearing, study says


…Experts Worry about the loud sound coming from the mp3 players while people are listening to music…

Some people think that listening to our ipods or mp3 players does not cause problems in our ears, in fact this is not true because we listen to our ipod or mp3 players when we are in the bus or on the train and we don’t think about how dangerous this can be if we listen to music all the time loudly. According to professor Fan-Gann Zenthis can damage our ears, this theory shows that if people keep listening their mp3 players loudly, in 10 years they are going to reduce their sense of hearing. Another professor, Bob Cowan from the Hearing Cooperative Research Centre, says that there are three main risk factors. "That they listen to their devices at loud or very loud levels; that they listen to their devices for more than a couple of hours per day and that they listen to their devices five to seven days per week"

Anyway the people in the street who have ipods or mp3 players are listening to them and they don't think in the risks, "they say listening to their ipods does not hurt, they say this is the best what the companies can made because when we are in the train or in the airports while we are waiting for something or somebody we can be listening to them, and really i don't think this can be dangerous is just listening to my ipod" he said.

In conclusion listen to our ipod or mp3 player cause problems in our hears for the future.
