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 has a very big impact on the Women this can lead to unnecessary frustration and quarreling among the family members and etc. So the television should be used only for a limited amount of time and purpose.

- Watching TV plays an important role in our daily lives. In fact it is one of my favorite hobbies. Almost everybody watches TV some time every day making it perhaps the most common hobby in modern society. It brings us a lot of benefits.
MERITS:
- Watching TV can increase our knowledge of the world, give us information to improve our lives and provide a lot of fun.

Many TV programs provide the latest news of domestic and international events. Watching news every night on TV is many people's most important routine. A variety of courses are taught in TV programs, such as foreign languages, computers, and even maintenance of household electrical appliances.

Television has its merits and demerits. I particularly think that we shouldn't overlook the negative effects of television on the youth as it showcases programs which reflect diverse cultures. Television has an undoubtedly huge influence on the youth as much as l hate to say this through this vice the youth have lost the true essence of beauty celebrities who get surgeries for butt enhancements. Seriously!?, it's pathetic now almost every girl thinks that true beauty is defined by body shape and that is ridiculously wrong. Yes, we can't control we they choose to broadcast on television but at least being able to pinpoint how much these celebrities who showcase on tv are actually influencing the youth negatively would be a step forward. It has also resulted in a complete dilution of cultural and moral values due to the imitation and adoption of some of the worst and unacceptable tendencies. I can't fully pose the blame on the youth for not being cautious on what to and what not to adopt and imitate. We are just victims of a generation that has lost the almost true essence of everything.

Everything has good and some bad, even it is applied for TV also.
TV plays a major role in this fast running days. I think the best advantage by TV is. A man can know about recent news in the world by watching TV even they are illiterate. Because we all know, in TVs they read the news which is showing on the screen and other advantages by watching TV is.
* Quick information about our surroundings.
* Sports news, social debates, educational information, information for farmers, entertainment.
* Live broadcasting and etc.
But the impact of TV in a negative way is more than a good way because most of the children use to see the TVs hours together it will lead to many health problems. Watching serials by ladies it creates family problems like unnecessary frustration by women.
Finally, my conclusion is if it is really watching for news or a program which gives some knowledge or a program which gives mental relaxation for the certain period of time is good.
The thing about watching TV is good or bad is depends on individuals preference.

Hi friends,
I think TV is one of the biggest source of knowledge. And almost everyone watch TV. As we know everything has two aspects similarly. Tv has also advantages and disadvantages and it's depends on us which one we should choose. We all are different. There are some peoples who like entertaining shows and also some peoples who like to watch knowledgeable things. So tv gives us all types of information related to politics, entertainment, national, international, sports etc. So we can get all types of information. It also provides a platform for those peoples who want to show their talent through singing, dancing shows. These shows are appreciated our youth. That's why they can also see their careers as a singer or dancer. Because they are getting popularity through this tv shows. There are so many advantages but disadvantages as well. Sometimes Children watch tv too much and avoid their other works. So it's also harmful for them. What I want to say. There are good things and bad things as well. It depends on us which one we do.

By watching television a person becomes aware of what he wasn't aware of. It is a medium through which a person inculcates positive as well as negative thoughts, it changes the attitude and behavior of them. But, everything seems good to a certain limit but television has a negative aspect too. It is like an open book, people those are very far away from the real world comes across through it. Like foreign channels ruin the youngsters & they easily get provoke for doing wrong things many adult programs run on the channels make the people evil minded. And then they got into bad things. People must understand that some things are fictional they are not in real. Like vampires, people get scared as they hear it. But Do, they really exist? Who knows that it's good that it has imaginary world around it but when we see it in real life nothing is alike it. So believe watching television must be in a limit is good & essential too but should not get stuck around it for a long, as it is not useful and worthless.

Well, speaking of the impact of television we should be concerned about some points that are crucial in judging its fruitfulness and fruitlessness, these are:.
1. The programmes watched on tv.
2. A number of hours spent.
As we may already know if a person is fond of watching tv content and spent most of his time on tv he would not be able to properly concentrate on other spheres of life, he will be drawn apart from the reality. In addition to it, we know that the human brain acts through senses that is eyes, ears, nose etc. The most crucial senses are eyes and ears and whatever we see and hear that becomes our opinion and thought. THUS on a conclusion, I can say that it will depend upon the nature of the programmes we are watching because there are both informative as destructive contents available. But it is the harsh truth that only a few programmes are informative and others are destructive thus there should be a balance on watch tv because eventually, it is going to shape thoughts in our minds.

Hi, guys. According to me, there are both the advantage & the disadvantage of tv. Pros and cons are everywhere of any thing. Everyone see the tv with a different mentality. The person who wants to enhance their knowledge, see the knowledgeable programs. And the teenagers or the youths, who see tv with a different sense. See the other programs. So how we say that the tv is faulty?
There are some advantages of tv.
(1) enhance knowledge.
(2) aware of outside information by the news.
(3) when you are tense, so they help to divert your mind.
(4) entertainment.
And disadvantages are.
(1) by seeing tv people ignore their guardians.
(2) if the person seeing abusive channels, it affects in their mentality.
(3) people don't want to play indoor games.
(4) effect on eye sight & nervous system.
Besides this, there are also so many advantages and disadvantages. But in the end, we say. Its all about depend on the mentality of a person. Thank you.

Everything has pros and cons.
It totally depends on us how we are responding to it. It depends on us only that we are proving tv a boon or curse for ourselves. Television is no doubt a great source of information. Not only it improves ou general knowledge but also it makes us socially active. We are aware of day to day affairs happening in our country and around the globe. But we should not neglect its disadvantages. If we are watching tv for longer hours it affects our physical as well as social heath. Younger generation spends most of the time in watching tv shows which is only a wastage of time. Young generation should spare the time in watching educational shows. Parents can also play a major role in this. They should opt for the educational and knowledgeable channels which enhance the child's as well as their knowledge. It depends on youth only that are we proving tv a boon or curse for ourselves as well as for the society.
Thank you.
