    There is no doubt that emergence of TV is one of the most revolutionary events in the twentieth century. A lot of changes have appeared in the daily human life since its first appearances, namely in three major fields, into changing information, discovering cultures and sharing entertainment.

    First, TV is a good source of information. It allows people to have different kinds of information in easy way. For example, people could watch different kinds of programs that let them know different kind of information in different fields such as health, education, technology and so on and so forth. Moreover, TV makes the transformation of information .For instance, just by attach the remote control people could reach information in different languages and about different things ; for that reason television is considered as a revolution in the area of information in the twentieth century.

    Besides, television allows people to discover other unknown cultures, traditions, and religions. For example, through some documentary programmes people can discover the culture of the Iskimo community which was unknown for centuries until the TV unveils it and makes it known everywhere and to most people .Moreover, television lets people discover other traditions as in the case of the Indian marriage which was unknown by the Moroccan people until they discovered it through TV movies. In addition, many religions were strange to many people , but through television people discover them and become very familiar with them, such as the way the Indian people worship cows, which was so strange to Muslims ago.

    Finally, there is no doubt that entertainment is another distinctive feature behind the discovery of TV. TV has a mysterious ability to entertain people all around the world. through watching movies ,sport or music people could get rid of their daily difficulties at works and enjoy themselves .Also children could get entertain by means of cartoons serials such as mike mouse or comic shows like mister been or children movies such as ‘ allies in the wonderful land’. For that TV is considered to be remarkable source of entertainment.

    Because TV has become the most popular source of information in the world, it has dominated all people’s free time. In fact, TV has replaced traditional entertainment and past time activity such as reading, playing games and listening to the radio. It has even destroyed social and family interaction as there is no time left for family gathering. So, people should control the dominance f this magic box on their daily life

    so , what do you think ? is watching TV a waste of time ?????

    PEACE \m/ :-b

    Despite of hectic schedules, stressful day on work and a lot of paper works in school, watching television is one thing a person could do to freshen his/ her mind. Some people would say that watching television is just a waste of time and gives a bad influence especially to the kids, but the truth is, it's the show/program in a television we are able to get more social and educational information. This is also one way you can relax and enjoy yet your learning. Just make use of your time and it depends on you how to use it.

    TV is ok if you are careful at what you choose to watch and limit the time spent watching tv. Yes, old movies are great to watch.

    We should always be careful in choosing what we wanna see. There are shows on tv which are obviously just a waste of time and full of nonesense. but there are shows which are a good past time, too.

    Television - it's the window to the world. Seeing is believing ... to that effect TV is much better than newspapers . Some people believe that watchiong TV is a sheer waste of time. But watching TV programs which are informative and absorbing is worth it . Channels like discover,national geographic,history etc can be of highly educational value . At times, watching an old movie every now and then is perfectly alright,for life is to live and enjoy within the limits .

    television is the second most visited by people after the computer. LoL.But its not a waste of time if you knew that you are enjoying and you gain knowledge by
    watching in different channels in the television. it is a waste of time if you are just sitting there.looking at the moving pictures and not analyzing what is happening. especially the news.But talking about kids, it is really a waste of time, especially if they dont do their assignments,but instead, they just watch nonsense cartoons without any moral lessons to be learned. And really, Parental Guidance is recommended.
    just take note that its not the Televisions fault if you watch it.It is us the viewers who have to learn how to handle our time.

    Watching Tv is one of my hobbies, so the best part in watching tv is you gain knowledge, for example; educational show or programs, like science skwela, but it was long time ago, in that show, you have so many thing to learn about Science, and also Animal TV, and other TV Station, second, News update, like TV patrol, @ 24 oras, etc. through TV you can watch news, about what happening in other place, politics, showbiz, tragedy, calamities, and weather, Amusement, that what TV for, it gives happiness to the people, including children. and also bonding with the family, watching TV is a big help in our daily lives, but don't abuse it,

    Television has a many uses. First of all, it makes it possible for us to see what is happening far away. In our homes we watch on television, films or events taking place in other cities, countries and other continents. Television is a very fine medium of entertainment. It brings musician and the music, singer and his singing and actor and his acting close to us. Whether it is rain or sunshine, hot or cold, we can enjoy television programs within four walls of our homes.
    Television also can be used to teach uneducated people. Through it we can improve knowledge of our students and educated people.We can present on TV educational programs of different categories.Documentary films are also shown on TV about real happenings in the world. Animal channels and research channels always ready to give you latest information about animals and recent researches. Also the MatangLawin can give information about animal and their scientific name. The discovery channel, national grograpic and many more TV shows can give us information.

    Today it is very common in industrialised countries for a household to have at least one television. In fact, it is so common that it is difficult to imagine a household without TV. This shows just how significant television is to us, but we can see that its importance is far greater than just being an object we own if we look at the variety of programmes and valuable content it offers and the purposes it serves in daily life.
    First of all, there are many different types of programmes on television that are useful. The viewer can watch a weather report to prepare for the day. Cartoons and sport provide relaxation and fun. School programmes, documentaries and the news teach us about the world. And advertisements inform us about products and new ideas.

    In today’s world where both father and mother have to work, television plays an even more crucial part because it has to baby-sit children for longer hours, while the parents are away – and while the househelp does other chores. Of course, it is also important that a child’s TV viewing is monitored. If both parents have to work, either father or mother (or preferably both) should make a list of TV shows the kids can watch – with the guardian seeing to it that it is followed and implemented.
    And yes, I still believe that TV viewing among kids should be regulated and limited to a certain time – unless, of course, you want to raise your child as a TV critic because to this day I still resent my parents for not allowing me to watch all the shows I wanted to see back then and now I’m having difficulty piecing TV history together. But then, that’s another story.
    Television taught me values in life – For all the nasty things you can say about TV, I have to come to its defense because not everything that comes out of it is bad. Yes, I’ve learned some positive values from it – believe it or not.

    TV as a source of news – Of course, I can’t live without the papers and I read it leisurely. But at the end of the day, you turn to TV for immediacy and to find out what happened here and around the world. The following day, I have the papers again and I linger – something, sadly, that TV does not allow you to do because everything here has to be swift.

    TV as a dinner date – Given my erratic schedule, I hardly have dinner with the family and most of the time I eat alone, which can be very lonely. To keep me company, I eat in front of the TV set and so far I can say that it’s been the perfect date.

    TV as a source of livelihood – I learn from TV now and it pays for my little pleasures in life. Let’s put it this way: I’ve always loved television and now it’s loving me back.

    All people have a leisure time. Some people prefer multitasking rest that is to spend their free time efficiently doing more than one thing at the same time, for instance, we can cook a dinner, watch TV and talk to our family. Watching television is having a fun time but at the same time it's a huge resource of useful information about our planet, people, animals, plants, history and scientific discoveries. Television is a great tool of learning foreign languages. When foreign student watch TV they both enrich their vocabulary and develop their listening skills. So watching television is not a waste of time, it is the process of having a great time.

  23. Nowadays, when you’re feeling down and just utterly bored, there are a number of things that you can do to make you feel better or simply entertain you. Anywhere you may be in this planet, a long list of technology abounds you and is just a touch away. And when we are speaking of mainstream technology that is apparently available in the public; one of the first things that comes to mind is television. Television, often dubbed as “information/entertainment superhighway,” provides an easy outlet for gathering and disseminating information on the double. As widespread and useful television might be, many are saying that it is just a waste of time and energy to sit in front of the boob tube and let moments pass you. How can you say this if information is spoon-fed to you by just sitting comfortably and watching? Is it not that ironic to say useless when we have learned so much from it?

    Watching televison is not a waste of time

    Ok lets have a trivia first. Do you know what television means? The first thing that might comes to your mind is it's a electronic device used for entertainment. Technically, the word Television consists of two words, first the word tele w/c means far and then the word vision.

    Watching tv is not a waste of time, not at all. No matter what you watch on your tv you'll always get some knowledge from it. Watching tv is like reading a book without actually reading one. I suggest watching informative television shows like the shows from discovery channel or national geographic channel. Let's watch!

  25. Ever since I was a kid I have always been fascinated by those box-like figures with people moving and talking inside like they were from another world, another dimension. Many years had passed and that silly notion of mine about television comes back to my mind whenever I see one—since it’s very much common to see it anywhere. Its apparent popularity and availability raised some of the people’s views that watching it seems like a waste of time, since many would choose watching T.V. over going outdoors and enjoying the beauty of nature. Well, in my own perspective, I say that watching television is really not a waste of time. I have lived with television most of my life and I can really say that it isn’t a waste of time because television had influenced me a lot. My views, my perspectives, and my beliefs in life are influenced by television in a major way, in a good way. And to clarify some of the people’s notion; maybe It’s not television that’s a waste of time in watching, but some shows just aren’t that worth the time. . .
