Television was invented many years ago. Of course, television has its pros and cons. The first advantage, and most important, in my opinion, is the ability to get news and a variety of information about the world, being in his apartment. You can see what is happening in the world and how it is changing. Consider a shortcoming of the TV is blurred vision. People spend hours watching TV and don't even think they have at this point, the vision is becoming worse and worse. Advertising. In my opinion, ads can be attributed to the pluses, and to minuses. Why? The first is that the advertising often shows useless products. Second, because sometimes we can make use of the products of constant demand. It's a good substitute for walking around the store for hours when the advertising gives us exactly what we need. Another negative. Many people have formed a bad habit of eating in front of the TV. But then it is bad for the digestion. Of course, you can talk endlessly about the pros and cons of television. We've covered the most important ones. Conclusion: in my opinion, television has more disadvantages than advantages. It is better to go to walk around the city, play outdoor games, than sit for hours in front of the TV, thus causing all sorts of damage to your health.

Some people say that TV plays a very important role in our life, others do not agree with it. And what do you think of the problem?  
It is said that TV is one of the greatest scientific inventions. But nowadays people are speaking much about advantages and disadvantages of television. Some people say that TV is good. But others consider it to be bad. 
As for me I support a former point of view. And now I will try to prove it.
Firstly, TV informs us about various things. We learn about current events all over the world. Secondly, we can`t but mention the educational role of TV. With its help, for example, we can learn various foreign languages or other subjects. Thirdly, TV entertains us, and it is so pleasant to relax in front of the TV-set  after a hard working day.
But there is another point of view on the problem. Some people are quite sure that television is bad for our site.
Besides they underline that there is too much violence and too many crimes on TV. And it makes people nervous.
In conclusion, I would like to stress that I am for TV. It helps us in various ways. Of course, I can`t but agree that the problem is very serious.Tastes differ. And everyone has a right to have his own opinion.
