The Value of Watching Television is Undeniable
Television is one of the greatest discoveries of modern science. The word ‘television’ comes from the Latin word ‘tele’ and ‘vision’. ‘Tele’ means distance and ‘vision’ means to see. So, the word television means seeing from distance. On the basis of experiments made by Paul Nepkov, Jhon Bayard invented the television in 1925.
Television is the most modern means of communicating ideas and thoughts. We here the speeches of the world-famous personalities. It serves much more than a radio. It is like a stage where performers are seen and head. It gives us news on national and international matters.
Television is a source of recreation. After day’s hard work. We sit before a television set and hear music and songs as well as movies. We enjoy drama, dance and many other things. We see actors and actress too. Nowadays, we need not go to stadium to enjoy a game. We can enjoy it in our residence through television.
Television has a great educational value. It teaches the illiterate and the students. We here and enjoy debates, lectures on various important topics, discussions on science and speeches through television. It has broken the wall between the literate and the illiterate.
Television has made the world small. It has conquered time and distance. People need not spend money to go abroad. We get familiar with the customs and traditions, fashions and dresses and cultures of the people of different parts of the world through television. It conveys social, political, economic, cultural and religious news of home and abroad.
Television is an important medium of mass communication. It plays an important role in our day to day life. So, television programmes should be carefully produced.
