Can We Do Without Television

I read this article in the text muet (Longman), this article tell us about the effects of television on us. Television affects us in many ways. It provides knowledge and information. It is the cheapest source of entertainment and recreation, and is able to provide a great variety of programmes which can entertain both the old and the young. Advertisements on television inform us about new products. Television is also an educational tool. Television has also been used as a surveillance tool and to reach inaccessible places. However, watching too much television can be addictive, a waste of time and can deteriorate vision. It can also reduce people to non-thinking individuals. Furthermore, too many advertisements in between television programmes can be irritating.
