I disagree with the statement that television has destroyed communication among friends and
family. Firstly, it is a set of topics to discuss with friends and family. A simple example: I with my
family often watched "Master Chief" program and discussed it. Obviously, because that was a
bit funny. Also, when television was the main source of movies for me and my friends, we
waited for every new series of Naruto and discussed or narrated that if somebody missed one.
Moreover, now television is not only about shows, series, films and movies. PlayStation
technology is tightly linked with television, and it is a thing that bring many emotions not only
you, but your family, your friends playing together. Lastly, even with strong development of
technologies, I always prefer going out with friends to television or games. That`s because live
communication simply brings much more emotions comparing with routing playing, as for me.
To conclude, television, and technologies at all haven`t destroyed communication among
friends and family, these are even have given us an opportunity to communicate much more.
