Television enables us to see things in distant places. It is indeed one of the most wonderful
things that man has ever invented.
Television not only entertains people but also teaches people a variety of important things.
Through this wonderful invention we learn about people and events thousands of miles away.
Pictures taken in all parts of the world are also shown on television for entertainment as well as
for instruction. Short films based on popular stories are often shown which entertain millions of
people all over the world. In some countries television is used to teach pupils and students many
useful lessons.
Students who cannot go to school because of transport or other problems are taught all their
lessons at home through television. As television appeals to the eye instead of the ear, people enjoy
watching more than listening to the radio. Listening requires knowledge of many things, but what we
see with our
eyes explains that itself.
For all these reasons, there is no doubt that television will continue to be popular for a long
time.
