Television - Lost in the Unreal World of TV :: Media

Lost in the Unreal World of TVIn our modern society, two separate worlds exist. The first, the world of reality, is where most of our important life experiences take place. The second, however, is where nothing substantial exists. Nothing there can have whatever direct impact on our lives. This is the world of the unreal the world of television. television lures people in with wonderful stories that have very little or no application to the real world. Instead of teaching about how the world works, it replaces healthy human interaction. When people watch television, they receive only input. This does not help them good deal with other people, because it does not train them to respond. Doing things with other people is necessary to develop social skills, which must be used every day.Television does not will any workable context for behaving around people. Everyone knows that television shows are designed to be entertaining, not to show how actual people will react to certain(p) sit uations. When a person watches television, a mind is wasted. That person is throwing away time which could be used for a number of productive tasks. Which person, when asked what they did in life that was in reality important, would reply I watched as much television as I could?As similar their names might sound, a television is not similar a telephone. A telephone connects two peoples minds to each other, while a television only s mop ups pictures and sounds to one persons eyes and ears. In fact, if you let television rival your mind too much, it can cripple your imagination. You might have more images stored in your mind, but you will be out of practice for generating new ideas. Television does not provoke original thought.Sometimes television is deceiving because the watcher feels connected to a character on the screen. The observer begins to mimic the characters emotions, and feels satisfied at the end of the episode, as if something had really been accomplished. What the vie wer feels is just the opposite of what has happened.
