Television is influcencial instrument.  It does not only entertain us but also become one of the most staple source of information we gain.  It is so fascinating that some people spend lots of times on watching TV.  Looking at such poeple,  many of us allege that TV destroy communication with our friends and family members.  I admit TV can rob us of time for doing other important things, including time on communication with others,  if we take good care not to be involved in this media.  However, I cannot agree with the statement that television has destroyed our communication with others. I will explain the reason for my disagreement in more detail.
 
  Television, useful method of getting information gives us lots of topics for conversation with others.  For instance, we sometimes talk about trend drama, the latest news, and shows, which broadcast on television.   Thanks to the various types of topics presented by the wonderful box, we can enjoy talking about lots of things with everyone.  It helps us discover common topics to which we have interests and share enjoyable time as well as the certain topics with others, especially our friends.  At home, we can also get a chance to communicate with family members by sharing experience of watching the same TV programs.  I and my mother love watching mystery program on TV in the living room.  We enjoy showing our own prediction about  how the stories go on or who is a criminal with each other during the drama.  Even if we do not watch the same program, information each of us can get from the media can be the topic of talk.
 
   Despite its contribution to promotion of our communicating with others, TV is sometimes deplored as the destroyer of communication by many poeple.  However, I think that such people misunderstand the present situation of those who are devoted in TV programs instead of talking with others.   I think that even if TV were to disappear, they would not start speaking to others.  There are lots of people who are fascinated with other things such as study, reading, doing sports activity alone, and so on much more than communication.  TV freeks are just an example of such kind of people.  Some people who escape to TV from conversations with others because of feeling trouble with frequent communication, might discover other method of escaping from their reluctant things, communication, 
 
  In this way, despite the criticism of TV that it has destroyed our chance of communication, it rather provides us with the topics of conversation with showing large amount of useful and enjoyable information. Moreover, those who are reluctant to talk with others usually have less communication with others by their characters and their strong interests to others.  If they could not watch TV at all, they would be still involved in more favorite things or discover other method of preventing communication instead of beginning to talk with others.  Therefore I do not regard TV as the vicious destroyer of our communication with our friend and family.
