Journal entry.

Today I was thinking about a controvertial theme, it was the good and bad use of televisión. I can´t imagine the world without it, but I hear that life used to be different when t.v. wasn´t around us. People spent there free time writing, reading, or simply playing with their children. Nowadays, people´s life is regulated by a T.V programme , becouse they want to sit in their chair and be ready to watch their favorite show without any interuption. They can spend a lot of hours there without moving, speaking or eating. In the majority of the cases T.V. is the most important thing at dinner time. Anyone can speak if T.V. is turns on , in that way a complete family is hypnotize by it.
Some years ago children used to play with their toys at the garden of their homes, they knew how to do that. But in this time childs don´t know how to play becouse they are so accostumed to be sit very quit in front of a television that they became boredom in their free time. A clear example of this is that nowadays in a childen party parents need to pay a person in orden to entretain them and make them play, when I was a chid I din´t need another person to entertain me. My friends and I used to play with music and funny things.
Appart from that, young people are exposed to see rubish programmes wich can confuse them about real life. That is the case of a new T.V programme called Big Brother. It is about a group of a young boys and girls who live in a house all together and they are constantly be recording by a camera and people can watch what they are doing in television. The problem is that these boys don´t do anything during the all day, they spend all the time smoking, eating and sleeping. At the end of the programme the winer obtain a lot of money for nothing. This kind of television is what our teenagers watch.
It is also true that t.v. is a good way of being informed and sometime we can learn from it. There are programmes which learn people for example how to cook or how to make things for instance clothes in order to sell them and earn some money. So, it is very controvertial becouse the use of t.v. is good in one way and not so good in the other one.
