Television is mainly used for entertainment It entertains people through plays, films I music, dance performance and so on. Cricket matches and other popular sports items are also telecasted.
Demerits and Conclusion:
Some people call T.V. the “idiot box”. Television has its own bad effects. Horror moves corrupt the minds of the viewers It may tend to make children T.V. addicts, at the expense of other activites. Constant viewing affects our eyesight. T.V. is a white elephant for a common man. Inspite of all these disadvantages, T.V. is a very powerful means of communication.
