Writing topic 18.Effects of Watching too much TV
In this task, you are going to share your ideas on TV
Discoveries and invention of devices are always welcome till we, humans, find a way to abuse its benefits and be adversely affected by it. This was the case when Wilhelm Roentgen discovered x-ray and within five years, the British Army was using a mobile x-ray unit to locate bullets and shrapnel in wounded soldiers in the Sudan. TV was also invented with positive thoughts in mind – there would be no national borders, education and communication would be worldwide, etc. However, we are now trying to overcome its physiological and psychological adverse effects on human beings.
One of the physiological effects of watching TV in excessive amounts is eye-strain. It is true that there are specifications for watching TV; TV should be 5 m. away from the eye, the room should be adequately lit, TV should be placed at the same height with our eyes, etc. However, these do not prevent our eyes from getting tired if we keep watching TV for a long time. Another effect is obesity, which is widely observed in people who like watching TV and eating snacks everyday (there is even a term “TV snacks” to refer to fast food that is suitable for eating in front of the TV). TV is such a powerful machine that people cannot get away from it – it is addictive.
Apart from the physiological effects, TV also causes psychological effects. One is a result of being exposed to violence. After seeing so many violent scenes on TV, people start considering violent actions normal and they lose their sensitivity to their environment. Partly connected to this effect, the interpersonal communication among people decreases. Being insensitive to the suffering of other people causes people to become alienated. Also, after coming home from work people seek to relax in front of the TV, and generally people prefer watching TV to talking to each other. This issue is very important since lack of interpersonal relationships mostly end with divorces.
Shortly, inventions are meant to be beneficial for human beings, if we know how to benefit from them. TV is one of such inventions that need to be used for the right purpose only – being educated and entertained for a reasonable (according to age) period of time. We may, then, be safe from or at least reduce the adverse physiological and psychological effects of watching too much TV
american or english peoples says tv is a look like idiot box ı m absolutely agree thıs command for example turkish peoples watching tv rougly ten hours in a day so they didn t mind anything only watching tv its very bored ıf you watching more tv you will have a some eyes problem we konw tv is radiating more radiation sciensist said ıf you more watching tv you have physiological problems for example tiredness and have sleeplessness problem and nervous system problem
I'm absolutely sure,nowadays there is a television in every home and it has became part of our lives.There are both advantage and disadvantages of having television.If we want to learn something from television we should use right it.First of all,there are many useful educational and informative programmes on television.For example,Kim 500 Bin İster? is a quiz programme so we get a lot of information from in this programme we improve our general knowledge we learn a lot.Also there are a lot of talk shows on television,Beyaz Show is one of them.When I watch Beyaz Show,I have a good time and I forget about all my probmles so I like this programme.More over,Tv news tells us a lot more about what is happening in the world.For example,we learn how the weather will be like the next day.We can also follow sports news,financial news and fashion on television.Also,there are a lot of soap operas,game shows and reality shows to have fun.I think television has become the most important part of our lives so television will absolutely continue to have great importance in our lives.
First of all, I think,we spend our time watching TV,you can watch films and newspend series,but now we can do these an computer.There are a lot of advertisements on TV.You can't control anything. If you use a computer,you can watch films and you can pause at anytime to review and watch it again. However,people watch films on smart TV(Digiturk,Tivibu)and they can control TV because of some spesifications,but I think you can connect your computer to a television and you can do everything. Secondly,there is a common problem which is radiation.TV and computers spread radiation so we shouldn't watch it a lot. Finally,television is harmful for our eyes.Experts ad doctors have been reasearching the effects of TV in people and how harmful they are.According to experts,we should watch television from 3 meters away. To sum up,ıf you need to watch television,you can use your computer,because we spend our time for reading books and listening to music,so we can do a lot when we use our computers...
