Effects of Television on Youth

Television media have both negative and positive. News media are very powerful in showing the correctness. But, entertaining elements decreases the precious time of youth.

Hai, I'm Sai.

In my opinion TV is idiot box. But in some ways, it can be so useful. That depends upon your watching. If you watch good program that helps you. Other wise it destroy your thinking.

Hi, friends I am Ashwini.

TV is a very useful device to update with society. Good programs will come on the TV as well as bad too.

And the effect of TV depends on youth how they are using it. We can avoid the bad effects of TV by stopping the bad advertisements.

Thank you.

Television is considered as an Idiot box for some people and an instrument/device of knowledge for some. It is up to us whether to take it as the source of knowledge or as a source disaster for our youth.

If we adopt the habit of watching good shows based on science, general knowledge, decent news then it will definitely help us to grab quality knowledge.

Youth gets attracted to TV. It can be good as well as bad. There are some channels which explain the growing science and technology, whereas some are useless and misguide the children. In fact, they are time busters. So students should take their responsibility by choosing right channels.

Hi friends,

Children today sit for passively in front of TV and get influenced in a bad way by advertisements and programs then parents due to TV a curse. But when the children watch sporting events or educative programs parents feel that the TV is a blessing.

Advertisements that create social awareness of pull polio programs or adult literacy or eye donated campaigns can do a lot to influence society.

This if TV is judiciary used it can be a blessing, not a curse.

Thanks.

Hi friends,

In my point of view, television is one of the biggest sources of knowledge for youth. But it depending upon individually because different people has different mentality so it useful for breaking news, creative show, movie channel, lifestyle shows, etc. But it hazardous for human eyes. So television is 50-50 % useful and hazardous. But finally, depend on individually as I told you.

Hi, friends.

Television is one of the most important communication devices nowadays because in every family TV has become an important part like a fiend, it has both positive and negative effects on the people but it is totally depending upon the viewers.

Because by watching TV an individual can get more current information in the society regarding politics, business news, government related issues, healthcare, sports, educational and so many things what ever things happened across the world, if we take some programmes conducting career counseling for students, business economics for employs, health care for patients, not only these but so many good things we can attain.

Some international tv channels like CNN, Discovery science becomes most trusted channels because the information presents through those channels are very effective and some channels are involved in the technical aspects and business (BIZ NEWS) aspects so every programme will have its own importance, the updated information is very use full for gaining the knowledge and at the same time for advertisement it is the primary source so TV is most acceptable communication device and also TV is an entertainment for all generation.

Music, games, movies, programs, serials, etc. But if we addict to those programs, our time will be wasted and according to W. H. O continuation of watching tv more than two hours will effect the nervous system and the ability of thinking may gradually decrease, so the lack of good knowledge on watching tv is now becoming a serious issue.

So as per my opinion learn only good things from tv and don't addict to that and don't waste your valuable time, because time is most precious in the life.

Thank you.

Hello, friends, nowadays television plays a vital role in our day to day life. Everything has some pros and cons it depends on mainly how efficiently we people using those things. Of course, whatever technology grows up but still now we are using TV in our home. Watching tv gives us a lot of information about sports, economics, current affairs., don't what's happening in all around the world even the illiterate can know by watching images nd live programs by hearing. So it gives us some relaxation nd knowledge and etc. But at the same time, it has som disadvantages like crimes nd some programs on foreign channels which affect the younger generation very badly and leads to the dangerous situation sometimes. Mainly watching TV makes us so many discomforts in our health and makes us coachpotatoes. So my conclusion is about this topic is it is good when we use it in a proper way otherwise it is bad only.

Television can be a Pandora box and idiot box both depending upon the choice of our programs and duration for which we get to stick to TV.

Some positive aspects of watching TV is as follows.

Getting live sports and events.

Programs for farmers.

Educational news about every field like history, arts, science and tech, art of living, yoga etc.

Getting the news of events of our nearby places, country, and the world.

Religious programs.

There is also a theory "Social Surrogacy Hypothesis" which says that persons suffering from loneliness and social isolation can use television and maintain a parasocial relationship with characters from the program which he watches, and it can reduce his depression and loneliness.

The negative impacts of TV are.

Children and youth watch violent content and try to imitate in the society.

Sexual contents corrupt the minds of teens and youth.

Fake and false advertisement also have negative impact.

Politicians can use this media to influence public opinion using paid tv news channels which are not good for the country.

Health related problems like obesity, diabetes, and problems related to the eye, social isolation can arise due to excessive viewing of the tv for long hours.

In conclusion, it is box it is our duty how we use this box to our use.
