Marie Winn- Television Addiction

Television has a negative affect in your life? I disagree. It is the person who controls the outcome. Television, medicine, food, internet; all these things can be negative when using it the wrong way or using it excessively. Too much medicine can kill you just enough can heal you, too much food can make you obese but you need food for nutrition, the internet can become dangerous when you become so obsessed with it that you are glued in front of your computer half of the day but when used to your advantage you can learn from it and become cultured. You need TV. to be informed, an example of this would be the daily news. You need TV to be entertained because one can go crazy when bored, that’s a realistic statement. T.V isn't only needed; it is wanted, and useful. Channels like the Discovery channel, TLC, the History channel, etc, all help you become more educated and what’s so wrong with that? Anything can become an addiction and yes television can become one as well but so can many other things, but only you have control over that.
