Over the years television has earned a very bad reputation for corrupting the general population, but when used in the right way television can have a positive influence on viewers. The number one factor in making sure the television programs you watch have a positive influence on you is choosing the right ones.
Number one on the list of good effects of TV is learning. No one can dispute that television is a very powerful teaching tool, just take a look at all the educational channels available. From Discovery to Animal Planet wholesome television programs are readily available, you just have to open your eyes and look out for them.
Number two on the list is family time. Many families all come together around favorite TV programs and sometimes this is the only time they find to get together because of the busy schedule parents and school age children are on.
Number three is news; I mean this is not even something that we have to argue about, everybody has to appreciate a good dose of news every now and then. Plus watching news programs such as the traffic watch, or the daily weather broadcast will save you time and money.
So there you have it; three really positive effects TV has on our society today. Although I do agree television can be a good tool, make sure to find other things to do because anything can be bad if overdone. But if you still think televisions are evil and choose not to have one, you can always head down to the nearest department store and pick up an HD monitor. This will allow you to buy DVDs and monitor everything that is displayed on your screen. So go ahead and give it a try.
