Television dominates the free-time for too many people. It can make people lazy and prevent them from socialising with others. Do you agree or disagree? Give reason for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Television
is one the wonderful invention by scientists. Using which we can watch updated news, serials and movies from all around the corner of the world. But, nowadays,
television
channels are running 24 hours and 7 days a week.
Therefore
, the people are spending their free
time
before the
television
. In my opinion, the leisure
time
should be used efficiently by the people, which will be discussed in the following passage. Youngsters should efficiently utilise the free-
time
for developing physical or mental activities
instead
of spending
time
by watching
television
channels.To elaborate, the youth has to do regular exercises at least one hour a day, since people are getting inactive by playing games on
television
, online shopping and social sites.
For instance
, in India during the summer break the parents will join their children in some short term courses like computer basics, swimming, drawing, dance etc.., which will help the children in the future.
Additionally
,
television
is making people to less social with each other because almost 90% of the people have their own
television
at home and
this
is preventing them to socialize them with neighbours.
Finally
, communication industry is having a tough competition and the number of channels broadcasting is increased tremendously.
For instance
, there are totally around 10000 channels are broadcasting in the world, so people can choose their favour channel to watch or just scrolling all the channels only it will take around 5 to 6 hours.
Consequently
, in some homes we can find more than one
television
.
This
probing to watch the
television
, individually according to their own interest. To conclude, the
television
is just to provide the source of information and we have to use to get the latest information around the world.
This
wouldn't be used for
time
pass.
