Television Affecting Lives

Television programs are entertaining. However, not everything shown on television is useful to the viewers.

Decline in Creativity

People get influenced by ideas shown on television and this hinders their own creativity and originality.

Hinders Reading

Many children would rather watch a movie on television than read a book. Reading has many positive effects on children and television takes away these benefits.

Lack of Exercise, Values, and Social Skills

Sitting for hours in front of the television is not good for the body as the body rests in just one position.
Many shows do not teach good values because they are just built for entertainment, and this affects the time that has been invested in the show, as the viewer does not gain any real-world knowledge. Watching television also leads to poor social skills as children prefer to watch television to being social and this might lead to a situation where they may not get along well with others.
