Hello everyone.

Television is a great source for learning and entertainment. It can be a boon or a bane. Most of the youth grew up watching television. It has given them knowledge on wide range of things including science, technology, sports, business, art etc. Youth now understand the cultural differences among different countries, functioning of the government, social problems and much more. This wasn't possible without television. It's very useful to the youth but not everyone can reap it's benefits. Unfortunately, some use it for wrong purposes and waste time. Although television has brought so many wonderful changes in the lives of youth, it has also led to poor eyesight, health problems due to physical inactivity caused by watching television for several hours in a day etc.

Hi friends I'm Praveen,

In my opinion, television has a great impact on human beings either children, youth or old. The impact may be good one or bad. If the people sit in front of the television for a shorter period of time for relaxation is not a bad thing, sitting in front of it for a daily news instance or for a program through which we gain the knowledge is good and can be encouraged for a limited amount of time. But sitting in front of a TV set for hours together and spending only for the entertainment all the day is very bad thing and this should not be encouraged.

Children sitting in front of the TV set and watching the cartoon shows hours together may lead them to suffer from the eye problems in a small age. Women sitting in front of TV sets watching serials is not a correct thing. This effects the whole family, the children come and sit in front of the serial get distracted from their studies. The emotional TV serials have a very big impact on the Women this can lead to unnecessary frustration and quarrel among the family members and etc. So the television should be used only for a limited amount of time and purpose.

Effects of television depends on how the people is getting the TV shows they are viewing whether it is just for entertainment purposes or for learning something. But the problem is many TV shows don't want to show the truth but want to popularize their shows. If they are showing the reality or the shows the reflects the image of society then it's good but if no they are playing with the mind of people.

Television is having two faces that are bad and good. If youth seeing television in the way of a good point of view then there is no effect of television on youth but if they are doing misuse of television there so much effect of television on youth.

According to me, television is good for youth sometimes because with the help of television youth come to know our country situations, what is going in our country?, And many more current affairs. So, in this way, there are no effects of television on youth.

Hello, everyone,

Everyone knows there is always two sides of a coin. As coin there is. Always two phases of any situation or any invention. Like that TV is also having boon and bane effect.

Boon:
It provides all kinds of channels by which we can gather all the information.

It's the biggest platform where marketers can advertise their products which reach to more and more number of people.

Likewise, if any step has been taken by the government Will be especially broadcasted through the TV.

So many reality shows where people used to show up their talents.

Entertainment channels which help the homemakers to pass their time as their family members are quite busy in their own life.

Bane:

Provides all the channels which can put bad impact on children.

Parents started comparing their children by showing reality shows.

People are getting so many ideas to attempt for crimes EG: Drishtant.

Part of social separation.

Hello everyone,

According to my opinion, tv is a source of knowledge gathering. I don't know why people just focus on it's dark side. If we talking about general awareness, then there is no big option other than tv after internet.

We are watching many crime related real life based shows, they just want to aware us from these kind of crimes. But somehow many people takes it in a wrong way and they start think like a criminal to do so.

At the end I just want to say that tv is just a complete package of knowledge. It's our duty to open this package in a proper way.

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.

Television is a very good source of entertainment as well as knowledge. It was invented by J. L. Baird in 1920. As we all know that every coin has two faces, and television also has. TV is a great source of knowledge, news and adventure. It also has given them knowledge of science, technology, sports, business etc. From TV youth learn about cultural differences among different countries. These all are the good impact of television and now we are going to talk about the bad impact of it. A much use of it is a waste of time. To see TV for a long time we have to face so many problems related to eyesight or mental problems. Some programs have given a bad effect on youth. So, TV has both positive and negative sides. It depends on us how we use TV for a good purpose or a bad purpose.
