The influence of television on adults
Of course television influences our every-day life. You can't tell exactly whether this influence is good or bad, but the fact is that it does influence. And now it is not only the way to entertain yourself but also a good vehicle of manipulation. Besides, its influence also depends on the person, on his/her culture, knowledge, intelligence and just on his/her attitude and preferences. Besides, every person chooses for him/herself what to watch and how long. According to statistics each person spends 11 full years of his life in front of the screen.
Choosing the channel to watch very much depends on the purpose of the viewer. There is a great variety of channels: entertaining, political, economical, sports and even advertising. So a person according to his intention can choose which channel to watch.
It can make a negative effect on your physical and mental health, to say nothing about your eyesight, but it is still watched in the whole world. But the worst situation is with children and people with unstable psyche that as a result can't differentiate the reality from the fantasy.
Some people are fascinated by television and can't live without watching their favourite TV show or soap opera. This leads to another problem connected with health, the problem of obesity. It is especially true about people of middle age.
Sometimes the desire to take part in your favourite show is so great that a person is ready to refuse of everything: eating, sleeping, and even communication. Television for such a person turns into a drug that must be taken every day.
Not to become a "slave" of television you need to choose attentively what you watch, considering all aspects of a TV show, a programme or a film.
But it also has a positive influence because still it is the best way for entertaining people in the world.
