Keep Yourself Updated!!!! I don't understand WHY people think television is
bad!
Television keeps you updated, People need and want to know what's
happening around the world or what temperature it is, right.
You wouldn't get the weather in the newspaper would you?
News on television is much faster to access than a newspaper.
I am 98.5% sure that newspapers are sent out every Sunday.
I personally think that television is good for you!

Television is terrible I think television is terrible for children because it
damages children's social skills and there are also are violent inappropriate
TV shows that can give children nightmares. TV wastes time and is terrible
for your health.
Therefore, I think TV is a terrible thing for children to do and watch.

Television Destroys you mentally and physically Television is a device that
stops you from blinking with constant movement. With excess amount of TV
you could get tired, dizzy and even depression. As well as all the physical
side e ects of weight gain, because of the lack of calories that you burn,
posture and pains is your neck and back which over time you will regret with
the feel of a heavy head and torso as your legs do not have the strength they
used to have. Furthermore, muscle gain and development will be slowed as
it does not allow for the strength needed to lift your body consistently.

No it isn't I personally learned a lot from watching television. I think it
matters what kids watch, and how much of it per day. I learned to read from
watching PBS (Between the Lions and Reading Rainbow were two of PBS'
best shows), not to mention other skills like basic math, grammar, etc.
Added onto the channels like History Channel, Discovery Channel, Science
Channel, etc, there are several ways TV can help kids out, or at least help get
them interested in di erent things. And watching cartoons for an hour or
two a day won't kill anyone, I'd spend a lot more than that watching TV some
days, and I turned out just ne (or so I am told :P) I'm not stupid, I'm not
illiterate, I'm not obese. People need to stop ragging on the TV. Sure it isn't
the greatest way to spend your time, but it surely isn't the worst.

"When put together, the ndings are remarkably consistent across di erent
studies and di erent populations," says Frank Hu, M.D., a professor of
nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, in
Boston, Massachusetts, who coauthored the analysis.
The increased risk of disease tied to TV watching "is similar to what you see
with high cholesterol or blood pressure or smoking," says Stephen Kopecky,
M.D., a cardiologist and professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic in
Rochester, Minnesota, who was not involved in the research. The new
analysis, he adds, "elevates the importance of the sedentary lifestyle" as a
risk factor.
"[TV watching] is not a good behavior for you no matter where you are in
life, whether you're young or old," Kopecky says.
Health.Com: 10 signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes
Extended TV watching has reached epidemic proportions, especially in the
U.S.
Around the world, people spend more time engaged in this pastime than in
any other activity except working and sleeping, but by one estimate the
average American spends no fewer than ve hours a day in front of the TV --
more than Europeans and Australians.
"That's a lot," Hu says.
The connection between TV and disease isn't a mystery. TV watching eats up
leisure time that could be spent walking, exercising, or even just moving
around, and it has also been linked to unhealthy diets, including consuming
too much sugar, soda, processed food, and snacks -- foods, perhaps not
coincidentally, that are often found in television commercials.
Health.Com: 25 junk foods you should never eat
What's more, some studies suggest that prolonged sitting, over and above
its impact on eating habits and exercise, may cause metabolism changes
that contribute to unhealthy cholesterol levels and obesity.
"This is really the couch-potato syndrome," Hu says. "These are extremely
sedentary people who spend several hours on a couch watching TV. They're
very passive and their energy expenditure is very low, even compared to
other sedentary behaviors like sitting and reading, or sitting while driving."

There are lots of good educational shows on television. Yes there are violent
shows. I'll be the rst to admit that. But there are a lot more educational
shows than violent TV shows. Just because there are some violent TV shows
does not mean that people should ban television. Parents should watch TV
with them and block tose violent shows. The result of this that a) families
can spend family time together and b) kids can get smarter and know more.

Tv Crazed Children There are underlying messages in most TV programmes
children watch - most of them revolve around violence. Its not safe for a
child to watch in excess. The children are watching their favourite characters
be attacked by others. For example ' Tom and Jerry' the cat is chasing the
mouse and attempting to hurt him? The children have a sponge-like memory
Television is good Televisions are good because they provide us to a better
life and make us know about what is happening around the world.
Television can make a child learn di erent skills and tricks and also it's good
for their after life. I'm strongly saying television is good for children, it's sure.
