What´s on TV? The invention of television has had a largely negative impact on society. Although television is a medium that is ideally suited for educational purposes, it has failed to fulfill that mission. Television watching replaces healthy social interaction in the home, discourages healthy physical activity, and promotes poor eating habits. Television is a perfect medium for education, but few television networks devote much time to educational programming. For every nature program or cultural event, there are hundreds of shows that are anything but educational, where bad taste, sex, and violence seem to be the rule. Television has also eroded the time available to devote to social exchange at home. Taking up more and more of people´s time, it has discouraged individuals from reading. With commercials and programming more likely to stun rather than stimulate, television has also discouraged the exchange of ideas in conversation. Television promotes some very unhealthy behavior . It needs the audience to be passive and uninvolved , but receptive. The companies that own this service view it as a marketing tool, so that is what it has become. These companies need their audience to be idle. They want them to sit still for long hours and steadily consume the processed foods advertised on television. Instead of improving society, television has had the opposite effect. Most opportunities to educate people are passed over for the chance to shock or offend. The time for reading, conversing, and taking meals together as a family has been usurped in many homes by television viewing. Television has done little or nothing to advance the education, health, or welfare of people in our society today.
