How do television and other visual media affect the lives of individuals and families all over the world?
The media can be very helpful to people who carefully choose the movies and shows that they watch. With
high quality programs in various fields of study, such as science, medicine, history, arts, and so on, TV and
video tapes increase the viewers’ knowledge; they can also improve thinking ability. Moreover, TV benefits
elderly people who cannot go out often, as well as patients in hospital. Additionally, it offers language learners
the advantage of "real-life" audiovisual instruction and aural comprehension practice at any time of day or
night. Television and video can also provide almost everyone with good entertainment - a pleasant way to relax
and spend free time at home.
Nevertheless, there are several serious disadvantages to the visual media. First of all, some people
watch the "tube" for more hours a day than they do anything else. Instead of spending time taking care of their
kids, many parents use TV as an "electronic baby-sitter". As a result, TV and video can easily replace family
communication, physical activities and other interests. Secondly, those who, young and old, spend more time
watching TV than manual work can easily suffer from near-sightedness and obesity.
The third negative feature of the media is the amount of violence and horror on the screen that has bad
effect on children and teenagers. Finally, the most negative effect of TV and video might be addiction. People
often feel a strange and powerful need to watch TV or play a video tape even when they do not enjoy it or have
free time for entertainment.
