Television

Television is a rich and attractive source of information for many people. This is a very popular form of entertainment. More and more people spend their free time watching their favourite programs or just flipping through the channels.
A typical person spends about four hours daily in front of a TV set. Television is a “time thief”, which can cause addiction and make us plan our life according to the TV programme schedule. Many people don’t see its negative influence on their life. For children, television has become a normal thing, which accompanies them since they are born. Sometimes parents don’t have time to play with a child, so they just turn on the television. They think that it is the best solution. It is a big problem when children watch TV too often, because this “entertainment” deprives them of playing with their peers, and reading books becomes unnecessary. Children are mainly exposed to silly cartoons or violent detective stories. Some of the scenes may cause fear or sleep disorders with more sensitive kids. Television is like a drug. We must be careful when we choose a film or a programme. People should spend their free time in a more interesting way .
