TIME
THIEF
In our age
technology so developed that we are surrounded by a great number of
technological devices. One of them is became a part of our lives. We cannot
spend even a day without it. This device is television. Television’s effects on
human being are so much that no one can believe. Watching television is one of
the most common spare time activities and consumes most of our time.
Watching
television waste away our time. We are so addicted to the television that we
cannot understand how the time runs away. Firstly we spent our entire spare
time by watching television. Although there are a lot of plentiful activities,
we just sit and look at the screen. Reading book, go out and wandering around
or exercise these are more useful for us than watching television. Secondly
television steals not just our free time. We postpone our other works for
watching a television serial. Than our works so pile up that we do them
correctly. To sum up television is just like a time stealing thief.
Television
can gives us some wrong information about history, policy and some new
developments. Some television series about early or late history can be
deceptive, because they trying to make people watch the serial so they have to
change some occurrences. If people, who watch these serials, have not enough
knowledge level can believe this fiction can learn wrong information about our
history. Also media can reflect us wrong information about world news. They can
tender us some news after add or eject some really important things. For
example; if somewhere exploded media does not give us exact number of wounded
people for fear of this number can cause eyebrows to rise. Also media can
reflect us deceptive data, may introduce us innocent as criminal. So we can
never know what the truth is.
Although
all these harms of television some people can claim that television has very
beneficial effects on our lives. We can reach all information about the whole
world thanks to the television. We can watch some informative documentaries and
increase our level of knowledge about nature, history and so on. On the
contrary researches show that the level of watching documentaries or news is
too low. Most people use television to watch television serials and these
serials do not increase our knowledge level at all. Also if someone wants to
learn watching television is not the only way of knowledge acquisition. He or
she can look at the information by the way of internet or can investigate in
books. Some people say claims that watching television enhances our imagination
power. I think this claim is very wrong. All of these serials or cartoons on
television are the same. They present the same story and topic again and again.
Instead of improving our imagination, they are just like barriers in our mind.
Imagination is our mind and watching television certainly is not a way to
improve it. Television makes us stereotypes. We need to see different things to
improve ourselves not to watch same things over and over again.
Television’s
effects on our life are growing day by day. While technology is improving
features of television are improving at the same time. Offers of television are
increasing and continue to make us addicted. We have to be careful we need to
direct ourselves more useful and beneficial source of knowledge. Of course we
watch television but we have to reduce the time which we spend in front of
television. After knowing all these harms of television we can limit ourselves
and we can save our time to make more entertaining and beneficial things.
