There is hardly any home without a television. Television has become such an integral part of our life as it takes care of many of the chief aspects of our life such as entertainment, information and health. Before the advent of the Internet, people depended heavily on television for news, education and entertainment. On November 21, the World Television Day, we recognize and acknowledge the importance of television in our life.
Television plays an important role in the building of a society. Much of an individual’s leisure time is spent in front of TV. It provides the viewer with various programmes ranging from news presentations, discussion platforms, interviews, films and serial shows to school and college lessons. Therefore, it has the unique ability to fashion people’s views and opinions. However, television, popularly known as the ‘idiot box’, has its disadvantages too.
The World Television Day, therefore, should make us more responsible and committed towards our society.
