I totally agree with you Dariana. I can't and don't want to speak about TV all around the world but in France it's very sad to note than the programs and TV Shows offered are more and more silly and stultifying.

 Frankly speaking, I don't have TV at home :P

I prefer reading books.... in my opinion, it's more useful than watching TV.

I think they can be very useful.

 

When I was in middle school I spent one summer watching almost exclusively anime dubbed in french (channel called Mangas) all day long. When school started I quickly noticed a considerable improvement in my oral skills and overall vocabulary.

"Don't you wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence? There's one marked 'Brightness,' but it doesn't work." -- the comedian "Gallagher"

 

"When television is good, nothing — not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers — nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your own television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland." -- FCC chairman Newton Minow, 1961.

 

"This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and even it can inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise, it's nothing but wires and lights in a box."--Edward R. Murrow
