Television is the most modern means of communicating ideas and thoughts . We hear the speeches of the world famous personalities. It serves much more than a radio . It is like a stage where performers are seen and heard . It gives us news on national and international matters .
Television is a source of recreation . After day's hard work we sit before a television set and hear music and songs . We enjoy drama , dance and many other things . We see the actors and actresses .
Television has a great educative value . It teaches the illiterate and students . We hear and enjoy debates, lectures on various important topics , discussions on science and speeches through television . It has broken the wall between the literate and the illeterate .
Now - a - days people need not go to stadium to enjoy a game . They sit before a television set and enjoy football , cricket , tennis and other games and sports .
Television has made the world small . It has conquered time and distance . People need not spend huge money to go abroad . We get familiar with the customs and traditions , fashions and dresses and culture of the people of different parts of the world through the television . It conveys social , political , economic , cultural and religious news of home and abroad .
Television has some demerits also . Sometimes students prefer enjoying television to study . Young boys are fond of sitting before televisions in place of playing in the field . Thus it hinders the growth of the young generation . Sometimes obscene films and almost naked dances are shown on television which are very much harmful .
Television is an important medium of mass communication . It plays an important role in our day to day life . So television programmes should be carefully produced .
