电视是一项伟大的革新，如果明智地使用它是有益的，然而，它教会我们坐下来接受，而不是主动和思考。
电视节目或广告引诱我们购买的东西我们并不真正需要的。
看电视最坏的影响是，它占用了阅读的时间，提高了阅读技巧。据Seuss博士说，“你读的书越多，你了解的就越多。”
其次，电视描绘事实还是虚构？
电视节目的一个不良影响是，它似乎描绘或报道现实。事实上，它不是。相反，它允许我们对真正发生的事情有一点点了解。大多数人接受电视给他们提供的东西，而不怀疑他们的思想。我们不努力搜索现实，我们依靠电视制片人来为我们做所有的搜索。这样我们很容易接受偏见。
IS TV AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL?
TV is a great innovation, and it can be beneficial if used wisely, however, it teaches us to sit back and accept instead of being proactive and thinking.
TV programmes or commercials brainwash us to purchase things we do not actually require.
The most bad effect of TV viewing is, it takes away time from reading, and improving reading skills. According to Dr. Seuss, “The more that you read, the more things you will know.”
Next, DOES TV PORTRAY FACT OR FICTION?
One of the bad effects of TV viewing is that it appears to portray or report reality. In fact it isn’t. Instead, it is allowing us a small glimpse of what’s really going on. Most people accept whatever television is feeding them, without casting a doubt in their mind. We do not make an effort to search reality, we rely on the TV producers to do all the searches for us. In this way we easily accept a bias view.
Ask yourself, HAS TV ANY EFFECT ON YOUR INTELLIGENCE?
Watching TV for long hours can shrink your creative and analytical thinking ability. Continuous and quick information, opinion, analysis and criticism for just about everything stops you using your critical thinking. In this way, we can be easily misinformed and manipulated.
Those watching too much television start relating themselves with what is shown on TV and the desire to live the lives of their favourite TV characters. This may lead to becoming hungry for power, money, and status.
IS THERE ANY HEALTH RISK RELATED TO TV?
Watching television means inactivity, and # inactivity has been linked to obesity and heart disease. A study conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health # indicates that watching too much television can significantly increase the risk of developing obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Kids often snack on junk food while watching TV. They are also influenced by commercials to consume unhealthy food.
