Television is said to have bad influence on people. However, in my opinion, it may as well be advantageous for people. It provides us many useful information and news from all around the world. There are different programs on life of animals on different issues concerning nature. You can also find such channels, where health matters are concerned. Some of the programs broadcast in TV may be helpful for students. One may learn many things that are taught at school in them and in the programs these issues are discussed in a simple way. Many information, which one can get to know watching TV are useful at school on different lessons. There are also many different movies shown in TV, some of them are really worth seeing. They expand your imagination and knowledge.
However, TV has also many disadvantages. In my opinion, most programs shown in TV are really stupid and silly. They have no educational value at all. Numerous serials, commercials or reality shows are simply time-killers. They deprive the viewer of his own reason.
Summing up, I think that TV may have educational influence, but each person has to choose carefully, what he/she wants to see. One must not spend too much time watching TV. You have to choose programs, which you find interesting and from which you can get some knowledge and information.
