Nowadays, television has become the most popular media of human. It is also the necessary invention in our daily life. By watching TV, we can see many things happened all over the world. I agree that the advantages of watching TV are very important. But beside those benefits, there are some disadvantages that we must notice to be sure that we watch TV most effectively.
Beginning from the first one, I must say that television is one of the most important. From very long ago, people had already known how to transform information in many different ways but only when the first television programme was broadcasted, a new era had begun, the era of image. Television nowadays has been very popular, and almost every family has one. By sitting at home, watching TV, you can get a whole look all over the world. The appearance of television enriches our entertainments. Many events and competition can be watched “live” and many exclusive movies are presented as well, and you’re free to enjoy them. In addition, if you want to travel but do not have enough money, I suggest you can enjoy traveling in the TV (for example watching the discovery channel or national geography channel), they are screened 24/24.
Furthermore, the television deserves to consider as the unlimited source of information. There are a lot of scientific channel, which is suitable for all ages. It is the fastest and cheapest way to improve your knowledge. Today, Television specializes into many channels; each channel satisfies the different audience’s view such as news, sport, and film. By pressing several simple buttons, you can see your appropriate programme that fit your taste.
Everything contains good side and bad side and television has no exception. Wasting time is one of the disadvantages of watching TV. Let’s imagine : if one day , one person spends a hour watching TV without gaining any useful information , then in one year he will waste 365 hours and in 10 year is 3605 hours. With that time, you can learn several languages as well as finish some studying course. On the other hand, television programme are not always suitable for all ages. Sometimes, there are some movies contain bad information should not be watched, even by some adults. It will be extremely dangerous if parents neglect their children to discover the TV programme themselves, as they will immediately take influence of what they see. So, parents must supervise their children‘s TV watching throughout their childhood and adolescence period. In the aspect of health , spending hours watching TV is harmful to your eyesight. Why do not play some sport and breathe the fresh air .When your eyes are tired, you‘d better let them rest than continue to paste them in the screen.
In my opinion, I have reached a conclusion that nowadays, television is important. Although computer will replace it someday, but TV’s benefit to our life will be guaranteed it as the most important device, which people need, in order to be up-to-date.

Since its invention in 1927, the television has become an indispensable part of our lives. It is undeniable that this wonderful medium has both advantages and disadvantages.

  The first and most obvious advantage of watching TV is that it provides a cheap and easy source of entertainment. Televisions can supply an endless flow of programs from comedies, drama, sports to children’s programs. Viewers get entertained with a wide array of channels to choose at their own home without having to pay a big sum of money. Secondly, watching TV helps us with our everyday lives by giving us all kinds of information. International news keeps us informed and up-to-date with breaking news around the world, meanwhile weather forecasts give us practical information for our plan and preparation. We can learn how to do all sorts of things through watching TV programs. Another advantage of watching TV is that TVs generally have bigger screens with higher resolution than any other device. The entire family or a group of friends can sit around to watch a movie together to watch a movie or a sporting event, turning TVs to be a medium to unite people and give them a chance to spend free time together.

  On the flip side, watching TV has its own drawbacks. The first disadvantage is that excessive TV watching can do harm to your viewers’ health. Sleep difficulties, behavior problems, lower grades and other health issues can be dangerous consequences of watching too much TV. Besides, there is too much nudity, violence, foul language and unsuitable imagery that can have negative impacts on viewers, especially young children. Children can imitate bad things they see on TV and dire consequences may arise. Moreover, watching television might be addictive and become a waste of time. Watching television fills the time a person might have spent doing other important things like reading or completing tasks. For those who watch a lot, it becomes very hard to quit and watching TV turns out a dependency.

  In conclusion, the television plays an integral part in our lives. The world would be so boring without this amazing medium but when being over-used, television only becomes harmful.
