How TV destroys communication?
Television is a significant 20th century invention in that it completely changed the human lifestyle. According to statistics, there's at least one television set in every Ukrainian home is at least one TV set and the average Ukrainian family watches more than 2 hours of television per day. Consequently, the modern communication process has changed drastically because of television. I'll try to prove my point in the following paragraphs.
Firstly, television has adversely influenced on face-to-face communication within the family. There is a tendency today for family members prefers to watch exiting TV-shows or soap operas, rather than discusses the mundane details of their lives. As a result, parents and children very often do not share common interests. Their relationships become more and more distant. And, finally, they completely lose touch with their families. For example, my grandmother wastes too much time by watching stupid series and when I visit her, she always tells me what's happening in her shows. So, now I only visit her occasionally, because I do not want to hear about her stories.
Secondly, TV prevents people from to making new contacts and relationships. [Television inhibits human interaction]. There are many lazy people that prefer to lie on the couch, instead of meeting with friends for a meal, etc. or to have a lunch in a friend circle. These kinds of people do not participate in any type of active social interaction. The unfortunate consequence is that when they need to get a new job, for instance, they won't have enough contacts to give them references. Additionally, these people also typically do not keep up with modern trends, so it is very hard for them to find their niche in life.
In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that television is a powerful media tool that influences on human lives both positively and negatively. It has become clear that it adversely impacts one-on-one communication and prevents people from making new contacts and interacting socially with peers.
