Television: Is It the Worst or Greatest Invention?

The twenty-first century has become the key to a massive increase in new technological advances. As a result of all of these advances, the newest generations have unconsciously become the main target to such technological improvements. Almost every household has at least one television in it, which is used to connect household members to the rest of today's world. Television can be seen as a mean of being able to stay up to date, and in the case of parents, to be within range of educational programs for their children. Television is seen as something good or evil depending on the people and circumstances. Some parents consider television to be one of the worse technological inventions of all times, while others find it to be one of the most beneficial inventions ever created.

In conclusion allowing kids to spend long periods of time watching television causes more negative than positive side effects and the best defense is to be able to help our children control the levels of time spent in front of the television and teach them auto control so they can make healthier an smarter choices when it comes to picking broadcasts. We can help children spend less time watching Television and encourage them to spend those extra hours reading, studying, going out and playing outdoors, communicating with others and creating better social skills.

People still argue about whether or not television can be used in healthy useful ways with out causing any harm along the way and the answer beyond that is a little more tricky than previously assumed .
