Today children spent a lot of their free time watching T.V. Do the advantages outweigh disadvantages?

In this contemporary era, juveniles tend to expand their spare time in watching television. I think drawbacks of this pale in comparison to benefits because of ‘’ distraction from academics and isolation.

To begin with, the predominant reason is less focus on studies. To elaborate it, these days children have their own ways to spend their leisure time. Moreover, kids are addicted towards watching their favourite movies and shows. In addition to this, it lead them to be less focused on and interested in their education. A survey conducted by ‘’Tribune’’ revealed that around 80.20% of primarily students watch tv for at least 7 hours a day. Hence, by indulging to much in television children face less opportunities in their career because of poor academics.

Furthermore, isolation is another reason. In other words, children do not utilise their time with loved ones as parents are too busy with their personal choices and sometimes kids try to imitate what they watch on television. For example, a child of age 17 tried to recreate a scene from his desired movie ‘hacker’ and that child hacked accounts of his own friends and then blackmailed them. As a result, negligence from parents can motivate children to do dangerous things as well as it affects the relationship of parent and child.

However, television is the ultimate and affordable source of entertainment. To explain it, a vast number of people can not afford other methods of enjoyment. Along with a lot of should being telecast on television which encourages masses to show as well as sharpen their talent. Moreover, television provides knowledge and current affairs by their specific episodes. Therefore, television assist individuals to gain information and knowledge about their surroundings and also keep them connected with outer world.

To conclude, distraction from education and staying alone are the reasons of more demerits than benefits of the child consuming much valuable time on screening television.
