Children nowadays spend a great deal of time watching television. However, television cannot replace the book as a learning tool, which is why children are less well-educated today. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

In the current world, visual media has a huge presence across the globe.

Television

is being widely used as a supplement for education by students. In my opinion, books can never be replaced by

television

as a means of learning gadget.

This

can be proven by analysing how books have the advantage that they can focus on a particular subject deeply as well as provide

time

flexibility. It is apparent that a particular book focuses on a specific subject. As most of the programs in the

television

are sponsored by an organisation, advertisement runs at regular intervals

thus

there are limited distractions on learning a subject.

Thus

books have an edge over

Television

programmes are aimed to entertain people when there are very few educative channels for students.

been

the ability of the readers to choose the

to read as per their convenience. It is a fact that some students like to read in the early morning while some others in the evening, so that they have maximum concentration. But in case of

, unless we have digital storage devices like DVD or USB drive; it is not possible to play as we need.

Furthermore

, most of the

television

programmes have a schedule and the students need to be punctual in case they need to attend it. It is obvious that

television

, as it provides deeper concentration on the subjects and better

management. It is predicted that a few subjects, which requires visual effect to understand, may choose

television

as a mean of the learning tool.
