What do you think about "TV"? Is it good for you?

Television today has a lot of positive effects and influences on our society and our culture. Television gives us helpful information, various forms of education, and entertainment which are all a part of the positive effects that television has on our society. And what is the negative way of TV, I will see you again next time because now I am watching TV :D

Don't sit too close to the TV and do not continually stare at it and limit TV watching to about an hour a day. Our body needs activity like walking and sitting too long is not good for the circulation.

Well, I can't say I necessarily think watching television is "good" for you, I don't think it has to be harmful, either. There are a lot of good and entertaining programs out there, but there is a lot of junk programming as well. If you choose your programs with care, then it might not be all that bad for you.

I don't think that television is bad for people, but I don't think that it is the greatest either. When comes to learning speaking skills and how to maybe better communicate with others, it helps, but I don't recommend it for everything. I try to only watch Science Fiction shows, history shows, educational shows, and just smart television. Some people watch Jerry Springer and garbage like that, and it's not good television.

Well, TV is the one of my favorite thing because it really entertains me and when I'm bored I always watch movies or TV shows and It really helps :)

Television can be a good or bad tool of media. It depends on the viewer as to what programs to watch because not all programs shown in television are good or educational enough. I am not really an avid television viewer and I only watch it to keep myself updated of the current events in and out of my country. Television is one of my sources of news and current events. If there are children at home, it will be better if parents will control their viewing and limit it to educational prog rams only because I noticed that educational programs aired in television are really child-friendly and very informative. On the other hand, too much exposure to television is not good at all as it can negatively affect our eyes. It is always better to watch TV in moderation and be wise enough to watch only those informative programs to avoid wasting our time.

I think that some of it is good for you, but you shouldn't watch it all of the time. There are a lot of educational shows, and you are able to learn things about a lot of subjects that you would not have been able to if you did not have a TV. With that having been said, if you spend too much time looking at the television it can strain your eyes, and might also cause other health problems because you are not as active as you are normally when you are out and about. Also, some bad habits can be picked up from watching people on television, but as long as you have the intelligence to separate fiction and reality, it should be okay.

TV is good but we need to guide kid, in watching Television. Because there are movies or news not suitable for kids to watch. TV gives us relevant information in some aspect...

Television can give us great entertainment value. it can also be a valuable educational tool. So much information can be gained from television. As long as we don't abuse it, television can be very good for you.

For one i think TV is good, because you can get information right away without the hassle of reading. TV is also a means of entertainment. Although it has it's negative effects like what you are saying that we are not interacting in some way, well you can still can interact with others with the news that you have heard or seen on tv. You can talk about your friends views on it anytime.

It is useful.Keep your eyes helth.Maybe you can have a little rest.

I love watching TV too, but I think we can learn a lot from watching TV, many new informations and entertainment things. It's not good for your eyes if you watch it too much or too close. in my opinion, playing computer is even worse for your eyes. Anyway, who can live without TV ?

Watching TV is one of my favorites. Through it, I learned a lot of life's lessons as movies on Disney Channel.

I don't always watch alot of TV but I think it can be good for you. You have to find a balance with it like anything else. Too much of anything can be bad for you. If all you do is watch TV all day then it could be bad for you. We are need to get out and interact with others. Getting out around others can help to keep us from getting depressed and to keep us from isolating.

I think that the television can be looked upon as being either good or bad! I think it all depends on what you are watching on the television. I personally like the discovery channels particularly discovery science and I know that these channels can be very educational. I particularly enjoy watching the programs in relation to space exploration and so forth. On the other hand the television can be bad as well particulary for young children if they are left to watch certain programs when they should be in bed at a certain hour. That's true, there's no ability to have a discussion with others when you are watching television, not when you are alone in anycase. I love my television a lot and I don't know where I would be without it, totally lost most probably. I think that a lot of people have come to rely on this small device in their lives and it just helps them to get through their day, it certainly helps me to pass away those lonely hours. I particulary love tuning into sky news and I think that it's important to keep tabs on what is actually happening in the world. Such is life! Andrew

If you are always watching tv it will surely affect your eyes....limit your time in watching.. yeah you will learn a lot of things in it...
