Nowadays every one is saying that television sets should be thrown away but I do not think that television is a bad thing. No invention is bad or useless; the matter is how we use it. Television discourages us to read books but visuals have a greater impact on our brain. We can watch science shows, Discovery channel and other shows on TV and it may help us to understand our course book lessons. My aunt says that watching TV makes us lazy and we keep staring at the screen. So I think that one should take a half hour break after every hour. About becoming lazy it is not only the fault of television ,if all the grounds are being snatched to make buildings where are the children expected to play?
I like watching television as books are more interesting and once I start reading a book I do not like to put it down until I have completed half of it so when I do not have so much free time I prefer television. Also when I have to complete my boring homework I watch television to complete it. Our school must make reading necessary by giving us selected classics to read and ask questions from them. But I still do not think TV is an unnecessary gadget.
