Is Today's Television A Source Of Entertainment Or A Source Of Information?
Hundreds of years ago the spread of information was very low. The world started to develop, when information got more available for people. We can not imagine our lives without television, which was a main source of information more than ten years ago, but for now, television has became more a source of entertainment.
The first reason, why television is a source of entertainment, is that it offers a big variety of movies and television shows. The majority of television programs contains of them. Television has became the main thing for getting rid of boredom, because it offers something entertaining all day. When people come home after a day working in an office, they just want to relax. They turn on the television, because it gives them companion. People tend to do other things while the television is on, for example studying. Unfortunately it is not a good thing, because it is hard to concentrate while doing two thing at the same time.
Secondly, there are many alternatives to get the news. The time in television programs, which is for the news, is an hour or even less in the evenings. They are only once day and when you miss the news, you can not watch them later. It is easier to read the news on the Internet, because it is way more faster, furthermore, the news are published throughout a day. You can choose between different news, depending on what you are interested in. Moreover, people get their main information from the newspapers. Apart from the Internet and the newspapers, there are some certain television channels only for the news, but they demand an extra charge.
On the other hand, there are people, who watch television only for the news or they even do not own one. The older generation still uses television for a source of information, because the evening news programs summarise the events and accidents of the day very well. Furthermore, the information which comes from the television is more trustable than the news in the Internet, which are usually written very fast, casually and superficially.
In concluson, I would say that today's television is more for entertainment, than a source of information. Television programs contain mostly of movies, television series and reality shows, only an hour a day or even less is for the news. Also people watch television to get rid of boredom, because it offers something entertaining all the time. We have many alternatives to get the news, for example the Internet and the newspapers.
