Messiah Of Awreness

Television is one of those prodigies of modern science which has revolutionized the life of every man, woman and child around the globe. The close association of viewers with TV programmes is moulding and shaping their lives in a thousand different ways. This medium of mass entertainment has an iron grip on the imagination as well as thinking faculties. Viewing television saves time; money and the bother of travelling to far off places in search of objects that arouse one’s curiosity. Sitting comfortably in his home in an armchair one can watch the performance of any man, bird or any other creature on land, in air or in water.

It is indeed a matter of great regret that this “messiah of awareness” is some times labeled as the "idiot box". Studies have indicated that television increases the general vocabulary and helps to broaden views. And yes, the images provided by the television do not have a stubborn impression on our minds -they in fact serve as an incentive - to increase our imagination. It goes without saying that the impact of audio visual memory is everlasting.

Again, it is a subject of immense compunction that the television is also accused of producing “couch potatoes”- but it is not the television that forces any individual to sit in front of it for hours - it is the individual's own mind that does so. The role of television in modern society is a very crucial one - being a medium of education and entertainment.
