 In
a mobile industrialized society, people arrange their lives, their
leisure, and even their living room furniture around TV. People embrace
and toast this wonderful modern invention. To a certain degree, TV
has become so much a part of human life that a modern world without
television is unimaginable. There is no denying that TV is the child's
window to the world, provides enriching experience for our young men,
facilitates a channel of familiarity with advanced technological know-how
and the outside world, yet it envisions a utopian world in which most
young men are indulged. Young people and children exposed to the TV
are not immune to some violent, bloody TV programs. |

| Back
in the old days, when I was a child, we sat around the family table
at dinnertime and exchanged our daily experiences. In this way, our
family is a unit, and we support each other and we liked each other,
nurture each other. Today, the family round table has moved to the
local fast-food restaurant and talk is not easy, much less encouraged.
The author of this article is raising his voice against TV, urging
viewers to turn off their sets and enjoy a precious quiet hour, an
hour without the distraction of TV. |
