There is nothing new in saying that television has always influenced our thoughts and our way of living.

Television has been a beneficial invention for all of us. It keeps us informed about the happenings around the world. All the world news, weather, and the warnings are all available for use by just click on the button. Let it be a terrorist attack in Afghanistan or misuse of biological warfare are available all the time one just one screen. Televisions have not only kept us up to date but also plays a great role in educating us. We see so many documentaries. If the television is running we sometimes register many fascinating facts which we thought were even possible. But these assets do too have downsides.
