Has TV distroyed communication among friends and family

Has TV distroyed communication among friends and family?
Through the years, television has become increasingly important in
our lives, so some people hold the opinion that television has
destroyed communication with each other, but others have a
negative attitude. As far as I am concerned, I deem television can
build up rather than destroy our friendly relations.
The main reason for my propensity for my favor on television is that
it can make us realize and adapt to the needs of society. Most people
live in their individual circles all day. How is a person conscious of
what happened in the world? I can say television is the best
implement, because of its faster transmission speed than
newspapers, more visual effect than radios, more economical
consumption than network. Moreover, the
knowledge acquired from television also benefits the association
with each other. For example, by watching an interview program,
we can learn the way of getting along with people from a
successful personage.
In addition, watching television makes us have time or chances to
accompany our family. If we went out to play or have social
intercourse after work, there would be little time to keep with them.
Contrarily, we can chat with parents, children or the lover, and share
our troubles and joys as we watch programs together to relax, which
can effectively promote the family relationship.
Admittedly, some people are destroying themselves by watching
television so much, which may cut them off from the real world
little by little. After all, what television gives us are second-hand
experiences, so we should go out into the world along with watching
television in an appropriate degree, and spend a holiday with the
family once in a while by the sea or in the mountains, far away from
civilization.
All in all, it is not easy to take a clear-cut position on such a

controversial issue. But taking into account of all the factors that I


have discussed in the above analysis, I believe that watching
television benefits the communication with each other.
