As a child, television was entertaining and I have learned alot by whatching it. Although, over the years, I have learned that television does more harm than good. In the one hand, we can learn about world's problems, it keeps informing us about what's happening in music, film industry etc. We can find out what will the weather be like the next day or the day after that. We can watch Discovery channel or National geographic to learn about history, life or aliens. If you wacth a science program, you can get known about the science development, what reserch we have finished and what we are still reserching for. If you are interested in sports you can watch ´live´ matches __________________.
In the other hand, children learn many bad habits from television. They learn how to swear by watching violent programs. People are often waisting precious time on televion. Also, you can't find any quality channel that provides entertainment and learning. The media promotes glory and fame to people who don't deserve it in shows such as Ice Road Truckers, Ax Man and Mountain Man.
To sum up, watching television is not the ideal way to spend free time. In my opinion, TV would be better if there was more learning channels. I must commend croatian televion for providing students channels with instructions. They help us understand hard subjects and we are all grateful for that. Television is good option if you want to take a break, but don't get walleyed!
