Television viewing has always been what people nowadays do after a


long exhausting day. It was once predicted that television viewing
would be replaced by other forms of entertainment. However,
advanced technology has disproved this prediction. The television has
become so affordable that nearly every home has one. It is essential to
be aware of the effects of viewing television in society today.
Therefore, the positive and negative aspects of it will be discussed in
this essay.

One disadvantage of owing television is that it can lead to family


members spending excessive amount of time on television as it can be
so easily accessed. This can result in addiction, unhealthy lifestyle,
harmful effects on schoolwork and the quality of life. Another drawback
is the negative influence of certain programs on children’s behavior
especially when there is a lack of parents’ supervision on the type of
programs they are watching.

In contrast, there are also a lot of advantages to watching television.


The greatest benefit is that it gives you a chance to sit back, relax,
disconnect with the stress and worries of daily life. Watching television
also brings all the family members together and helps to create a rare
bonding time in this fast-paced world. Moreover, watching television
itself has become more delightful experience as a consequence of high
technology such as wrap-around viewing, sensurround speakers and
high speed internet which has made watching television a fun way of
learning and passing time with family.

To wrap up the discussion, I would like to conclude by saying that the


benefits of watching the television outweighs the drawbacks as long as
the right programs are watched in a disciplined way.
