Is Today's Television A Source Of Entertainment Or A Source Of Information?
Nowadays television provides us every kind of screenplays. For an example there are news channels, sport channels, music channels, channels for movies only and so on. Basically we can watch whatever we want, anytime we want. But I would say that nowadays television is rather a souce of entertainment than a source of information
Firstly, in my opinion nowadays television is a source of entertainment, beacuse there is much more movie, music and other amusing channels than the ones that provides us information. Most of the people watch televisor only for the entertainment, beacause if they want to get informed about what is going on in the world, they can read news on the Internet. Furthermore, Internet bonus comparing to television is that, you can choose which article you are about to read. Television is good when there is no Internet connection like in the countyside. Then you know exactly when news are on and you can get an overview of the most important information just in 30 minutes.
Secondly, I think that 10-20 years ago evertything was conversely- Internet and computers were for entertainment and television was for information, but now everything is changed. Information is spreading out so much faster on internet than in television. In addition, we can even watch television via Internet for an example Estonian Public Broadcasting is using that opportunity, unfortunately, it is the only channel in Estonia which is providing such feature. For an example I do not watch televisor so frequently, because I can get all the information and entertainment from online with my laptop.
On top of that, there are some expostulations, for an example television is mostly a source of information for those who could not afford computer and they get most of their Information from televisor, besides, they can use television for entertainment. Moreover, I think that television could be only a information source for them who watch television only for the news. It depends on the person, everybody has different television watching habits, for an example I watch televisor in very rare occasions, but my parents watch television basically all the time, same with the radio.
In Conclusion, I think that nowadays television is mainly a source of entertainment, beacause technical gadgets are developing so fast that we can get all our information from web. Gadgets are developed so far, that we can read news via mobile phone and it does not cost much. I think that informational television will die out, beacause people get their information much faster via Internet. In addition, I think television is mostly a source of entertainment, beacause show makes money. For an example in the United States of America, every year there is American football final game called Super Bowl which had a total audience of nearly 167 million this year. On that night, television channels raise their commercial prize to the top.
