I think interests in tv has been faded among teenagers.They mostly like to spend most of th etime in front of computer only..they can gather useful informations and they can work out usefully with the help of computers but they dont get any profit by watching televisions...isn't it? Letz a discussion regarding this...

Ya I do agree with you. Computers are more interesting yar. Though we don't spend our time usefully in computer, I will prefer computer than TV. Who will want to watch that emotional serials all the time. Especially teenagers hate those a lot. Thats what is going on in all the channels. Hehe. Lol. Happy mylotting. Have fun.

I agree teenagers do not watch as much television as they used to,but I still think television has a major impact on teenagers because of the violence and stuff they see on shows and movies but they can also learn a lot from television,even though the computer has more of an impact because teenagers can find whatever they want on the internet,whether it be good information or bad.

That is a good point and it is very true but there are still teenagers who watch television because television will always be around,and especially with all the channels you can get on satellite,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

What you said was absolutely right , it is not that im too much bored up with tv when i watch tv i cannot watch it alone we have only one tv at home my mom and my bro will come and fight with me as they wish to see their own channel so i just quit the place but in internet i dont have much competition sometimes my brother irritates but that is ok with me , why i like internet so much because i can open how many tabs i want and i can just see many channels in one window and even i can get many news from differents source opening one window but that doesnt happens in tv, i can even get updated information in internet than in tv.. and there are lot of stuffs which just attracts the teenagers like games songs etc

I think that computers abd the internet have more influence over teens today. The difference between t.v and the internet is the threat of predators coming into your home without you knowing it. That is the scariest part of the internet is that pedophiles prey on teens on the internet. At least with t.v's it is only content that creates an influence. With computers there is the content plus the dangers from perves.

I would say the tv. It's more accessible to teens than the computer. Not all owns a computer but almost all teens are expose to tv. TV can be educational with the right show to watch. National graphic channel is educational but computer is more educational because it's like a library where all information can be known.

before it would be television but now it would be the internet...the sad thing with the use of internet is that it has no regulating committee so chances are teens can have an access to some adult sites...

Agree, when I watch tv for a long time i started to feel boring and switching the channel all the time what a useless tv when use for a long time. computer do give me whatever we want like watching tv, information, online games and more we can learn from the internet.
