Television has destroyed communication among friends and family

 Actually many people spend a lot of time watching television.  Television was one of the most amazing invent that people did. Also is one of the favorite hobbies of children, adults and grandparents. But television has good and bad effects. One of the effects is that destroy family and friends communication. In this essay we discuss this effect and the arguments that said that this effect is wrong.

First, TV has good aspects. Watching it every day is a common hobby of people. They can gather information, knowledge and can rest. TV is only electric equipment; it has no bad impact on communication among friends and family. The main reasons are that television program is among the most popular topics in everyday talk. In addition, many sport lovers always find live sport program a great time for gathering. And, believe it or not, talking about weather forecast is a very effective way for many to start a conversation.

To begin with, many often find themselves engaging in a conversation about last night shows on television. Teenagers and women are especially the big fans of television series and soap operas. And they find it enjoyable telling people, including family members and friends, about their impression on certain scenes and sharing their opinions of characters in the show they had watched. Also, many sport lovers have found live sport program a great time for gathering of friends. What is better than having friends around, talking about what is going on in the game, and maybe bet on the winner of the game. World Soccer, for example, always attracts a crowd of men; and this exciting game will last as their main talk for many weeks. It is impossible to communicate by TV. TV performs vision and sound. It cannot get in touch people and others. People love watching TV because they can relax.

Second, it is a way of communication among people of one country and different countries and nations. People watch TV to find out about the latest news, weather, sports, etc. It is a great way to learn new and extend one's range of interests. Scientists say that children spend the same amount of hours in front of TV as they do in school.

Third, couple centuries ago people spent their time gambling, reading, gossiping or playing chess. Television is not a cause of destroyed communication among family members and friends. First of all, if members of a family have common interests and they want to make each other happy they will always find many ways to spend their time together and be close. Otherwise, if people avoid each other and they do not have anything to share with each other they will find television a great way to escape from this miserable existence.

Finally, we define a television like a simple track used by mankind for entertaining and relaxing, in fact it is an excellent means to communicate and not a cause of family disintegration and loss of relationship.
