Television is
one of the greatest inventions of modern science. It has dramatically changed
the definition of news and entertainment. It has also played an important role
in the progress of civilization. Its role in making people informed creating
public opinion and awareness can be noticed easily.
Television is
a device that combines both hearing and watching. With the aid of television
things can be seen from a great distance. It is really wonderful that we see
the live images of a person singing or talking at a great distance on the
screen of a television. It marks a great improvement over radio.
A scientist
named Bayard invented television in 1925. Since then the device has undergone a
lot of development. Initially the sound and picture were not clear. Images were
monocular. But now televisions produce crystal clear sounds and images in actual
color.
Television is
indeed very useful to us. It has brought the entire world within eyesight. It
is an indispensable source of information and entertainment.
It entertains
us with songs, talks, plays, movies, videos etc. with the help of television we
can see important news and events on the TV screens. Nowadays television is even
used to impart education by arranging distant learning prgrammes on TV.
Special programmers
are also arranged for children. It is a valuable medium of instruction. Ignorant
masses can be educated and given necessary instruction through television.
Sometimes it
can be used for evil purposes by telecasting wrong and false information. It
can also spread harmful elements such as sex and violence. Sometimes TV
advertisements try to popularize bad quality products thus causing harm to
public interest.
The medium of
television has a great influence over people as millions of people watch TV programmers
everyday for a fairly long time.
So proper care
should be given to ensure that it does not telecast any harmful material that
can jeopardize public interest.
