As like a coin, TV also has both positive and negative tendency. If we use TV in a proper way it is like a guider; as we have got some good channels such as discovery which talks about the amazing discoveries.

Some news channels give us news about the going on around us and the world. It also effects on education, culture, societies and business. But if we misuse it is the greatest enemy. It is commonly used as a simple means of recreation, people moreover children use to sit near of it interestingly for a longer period of time. It is very harmful and may cause diseases such as mental disorders, moreover hearing and sight problems.

So, at last I would like to say that TVs are in our control and we have to decide how to handle it. If we use it a right manner it will result soon.

THANKS.

Hello friends.

Television provide us a huge platform to make us entertain as well as to keep us communicate with rest of the world t. We start a new era of fashion in India and make people to understand the rest of the world as we know that everyone cannot afford smartphones so to those tv is only medium to know about latest things latest news.

We can easily hear our pm at home cause of television it also again provide huge platform for our leaders to convey their messages to each and every person easily.

But it should be used in control manner in case of children because they are shaping themselves in this world and tv sometimes has bad contents which can affect them mentally as well as physically as sometimes they tried for shaktiman or spierman overall television is good for us.

1) Channels like discovery, NatGeo tell us about the amazing discoveries happening around the world.

2) News channels provide us with the knowledge of world happenings.

3) TV advertisements help us to know about various products and markets.

4) Some educational shows like KBC increase our general knowledge.

5) Some music and dance reality shows help the general public to be part of it and show cast their talent.

6) Some shows like Savdhan India tells us about the general cases that occur in our day to day life and how they should be dealt with.

7) Small children can't read the book. The cartoons are very famous among them and they like the weird figure of various cartoon characters. Watching cartoons can actually help them in learning a language and following a conversation.

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.

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.

Hi, I am Srikanth Satya.

Today, Technology is available to all. We can make use of it for both good and bad purposes. But earlier TV's were widely used. In my opinion, Both good and bad on TV that we see is depend on us. Most of the youth were badly influenced by TVs. But I don't think it only affected badly on youth. TV provides more information like news, technology, science and many education-related aspects which are very useful for youth. Some channels make to think us more widely in science related aspects as well as technology. TVs provide entertainment by which we can feel relaxed. And also by English channels and movies provided in TVs youth can't take better communication skills. And hence TVs shows both good and bad affects on youth.

Thank you, friends.

Yes, Television has a big impact on human being, that might me good or bad. Bad in that sense means most of kids get distracted from their studies by watching it for a long time, At their ages, they could not control their mind, so that they easily get addicted to it. And nowadays in movies showing a lot of vulgar scenes for which people get addicted most of the time. Most of Women of the house get addicted to a serial, and they get busy every day for a particular time being for which it creates a problem between others members of the house.

So we should use television for a for particular purpose such as to get everyday news update etc. Don't waste a time by Sitting in front a television hour after hour as we wouldn't use it anywhere in our life.

Thank you.

Hey friends,

I think in today's world we are addicted towards television but to take a stand whether the television is creating a negative or positive impact on the youth it totally depends on how we use the television.

If a person watches news then he is updating his current affairs and can also enlarge his knowledge by watching the channel which adds value to his thought process then at that time television is creating a positive impact on that person.

On the other hand if he/she is watching the program or anything which did not suit his or her age at that time the television is creating a negative impact on that person.

Hence its parents who should mould the child so that the television should create a positive impact on their child's life.

Hi everyone.

According to my point of view TV plays a very important role in present society. It influence is more on especially youth. By TV we can gain so much of knowledge about updates and present society position. But every thing has pros and cons likewise in TV also we have some pros that is it is available to every one and there we can see foreign channels youth can get knowledge about abroad countries.

Even though we have latest technology using laptops or mobile TV but it is not able to access village people. Cons of the TV is not flexible and it is some what difficult to carry to another place. Meanwhile electronic companies made TV as small one now it is available to all poor people and it is the best of all.

Thank you.

According to me, everything has got its pros and cons, it is we who have to decide the same. If we watch television for sake of knowledge like watching the news, Discovery etc. Then it is good to watch T.V.

But on the same time if we watch television for sake of entertainment like kids watching the cartoon, wwe and getting addicted to it, is bad. Rather they should play outside as it will make them mentally and physically strong.

T. V is a good source in connecting the whole world and letting each country knows other countries in terms of culture, news etc.

There are many channels which tell about the different courses for youth. So from that youth can decide which is the best course for them according to there aim and preference.
