TV

Can you image your life without the TV? Then you are a lucky person... For the rest of us, the damage of the TV or the stop of the cable broadcasting it is a very sad, even frustrating thing. Is television a good friend in need or a real enemy?

Big TV
Pro: 
  • if you have time to spend and you don't feel like going out or doing something, TV is your saver
  • it's not expensive to watch TV - you don't have to pay a ticket to see a movie or an entrance fee to listen club music
  • it's comfortable - you can see a soap opera in your pijamas or listen to the president speaking in your underwear. You don't need to run after a taxi to be in time for an event that is broadcast live, you don't have to stay in the rain at an open space live concert. there is no etiquette regarding the way you dress, eat or speak in front of the TV
  • it's always fun to see important contests with friends around if you are a boy or gossip with your girlfriends about important persons appearing on the screen
  • you have many programs to choose from depending on your mood at the time
  • TV has something interesting for each of us, from science programs to gay shows
  • for most of us, TV is part of our life: you come home, open the TV and then go on with the rest of the day routine
  • you can keep up with the world around you, stay informed about things in your area of interest
  • for single persons TV is a way of passing time in a nice atmosphere
  • TV is an efficient and cheap way to learn new things
Con: 
  • television it's addictive - soap the you want to see, music that you want to hear over and over again, TV programs that you would like to never end. If you disagree with that, try thinking if you were able to spend an entire month without TV (if you are planning to go on a long vacation, that month doesn't count :) )
  • there are moments when there is nothing interesting on TV, no matter how hard you try and how tolerant/desperate you are
  • if there is one TV in the family, there is a fight waiting. The wife wants to see a nice movie or a show for women, the husband wants to see sports or technical programs, the kids want cartoons...
  • TV is usually tricking you in spending more time in front of it. You have to wait after the commercials to see the best part of the program, you have to listen a long story to find out how things end...
  • there is a lot of "spam" in TV shows like things you don't want and yet you have to accept like ads and small talks
  • because it's comfortable to watch TV, it becomes your worst enemy: you don't feel like going out with your friends because you want to see another episode of a comedy show, you don't feel like eating in the kitchen and loosing the thrilling moment of the program you're watching, you don't feel like reading the book when you can see the movie and so on
  • watching too much TV make you experience back pains
  • people who watch TV too much, and especially children, may develop eye problems and some even need glasses
  • some of us tend to spend important amounts of money for a better TV device, a larger one, a slim one or for buying more TVs for every member of the family or for every room of the house
