Disadvantages of watching television.

Nowadays, television has become one of the most popular and necessary media for everyone in the world. People can receive global information and watch news in every house. Having television can help people learn and experience the world outside their view even though they do not have opportunities to see those events directly. However, beside many useful benefits from watching television, it still has some grammatical disadvantages for people such as reducing the social development, lack of physical activities and affecting people health. Those problems are really important to notice in other to help each person get balance in their life with television.
Firstly, when people spend a lot of time to watch television, their social development is reducing. Mostly, people who have habit watching television consistently, they will spend more than 4 hours to watch news, TV shows or sports. Once, they put their eyes concentrate on the content that they flow, they could not stop and do not want to communicate with anyone around them, especially for kids and teenagers. Watching television gradually makes them lazy to interact with their parents and their friends. They become passive somehow, it is difficult for them to make conversations or communicate with one another. Like me, I used to spend most of my time to watch films and dramas on television. I was really interested in those movies, and I could spend my whole they just stay at home and watch the film that I like. I thought I did not need to go out or talk with people because I can see the world and listen to the people’s conversations in those films. It was becoming a routine, even I finished all of things I considered, I still just hold the television remote and put randomly whichever the channel is to find something to fulfill my time. Thus, I realized it was not a good idea to spend so much time with television. Watching television improperly will take away the time for people to communicate with each other.
Secondly, lacking of physical activities is also of the most important disadvantages of watching television. People will spend more time on television rather than take part in the physical activities like playing sports, going out with friends or taking vacations with family. They think that is enough to watch everything on television, it is the same, and they do need to waste time to participate outside activities. However, the real life is different from what they get on television. It is much more fun and interesting. People need to go out and discover the world by themselves. By taking physical activities, they can improve their healthy life, and make more friends, have more meaningful memories. From that they can develop their relationship and get rid of stress. Television is just a media for people to receive information, it is not a place for people to stay and spend all time to be addicted on it.
Finally, as two disadvantages mentioned above, they will lead people to reduce their heath because the more people watch television, the more they get stressful and tired. In front of screen for hours will make their eyes feel tired and unclear. Furthermore, when people seat on the stable place for long time, do not have some exercises, their body will not work well and create illnesses. For example, he just spends time to watch sport all day long and eat food at the same time. He will get fat and will be not healthy. It is not good thing at all. Some people watch too much TV shows or channels which content violent or harmful image; they will not have a real thought about reality and always live in their imaginations. Those are really dangerous because it will affect people mental development. Therefore, everyone should think e and take care of their health when they depend so much on television.
For all of those reasons, watching television too much is s really serious issue right now. It is not a bad idea to have television; however people have to control their time properly to watch it. If people do not know or realize the disadvantages of watching television they will have really difficult times to develop their social skill, take part in outside activities and keep their health healthily. Do not be so depend on media, everyone should consider about the real life.
