| << 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.
