Has TV destroyed communication?
I do strongly support the statement that television has destroyed communication
among friends and family. This I support with the following reasons.
First let me describe the role of television today. Nowadays people spend a
tremendous amount of time in front of the television. Thus communication
among friends and family has become much more difficult in the 21st century.
Because television always keeps you up to date, gives you a good laugh and a
lot of handy tips for life, people do not need their friends and family members
anymore to support them in achieving their goals.
Sadly enough the likelihood of becoming addicted to television nowadays is
tremendously high. Once you start to communicate less with your friends and
family members because you prefer to watch television you will get lonelier
and lonelier. In this case people will start to replace their own family members
and friends with talk shows and comedies. In some dramatic situations people
believe they are a part of the families shown on TV and therefore entirely lose
their feeling for reality.
Last but not least I wish to say that I consider the television as a very useful
information tool nevertheless it should be used like everything within some
borders.
