It's New Year holiday season. There must be various special TV programs, but one of the certain ways parents can make their children rebel and hate studying is to keep nagging at children to study while they leave TV on as children study at home. As a child's -or daughter's perspective, I had similar experience. (Previous)
For recent three years, I watch TV at most two hours a week. Because I have various else to do in real life at home, NOT because TV is boring and ridiculous. If TV providers side insist themselves as source of information, what if we set a criterion that programs worth watching is programs we watch taking note? Except for news -news programs are intended as information programs from the beginning
And movies. For example- If you're looking for witty joke so that you can improve smart conversation, you can find materials and hints from comedy programs. When you watch suspense thriller dramas, you can enjoy solution with detectives by writing down the course of events and characters, and it's good mind exercise. -Sophistry? Surely, not so many people would watch many of TV programs like this way... -Me? Now all I afford to watch regularly except for news are two music programs, and I write down the songs and musicians on programs I watch so that I can keep up with time. Back to the story... if TV providers side insist themselves as source of information, why don't they create programs worth as information source
? If viewers think of TV as source of information, why don't you treat TV like this instead of idling away your time in front of it? If TV providers side insist themselves as entertainers, at least why don't they stop aggravating bullies by programs that enjoy bullying people
Or they might not be able to complain if TV were called as rumor mill, dummy mill, or time-killer for people without desire to improve themselves...
