#three #media #information #comics #books #radio #television #film #theatre
In our daily life, we often switch our choices between books, television and films to use them as a medium for
information
 communication. They all have their own importance in our society, but in the modern
world
, I think that the television is the most effective way of communication. Television, being a great invention of science and technology, has both benefits and drawbacks. One of its major advantages is that it has converted the whole
world
 into a global village. Due to its fast speed of conveying
information
 using satellites and radio waves, it is a way of spreading news in each home. People can watch a live broadcast of news and other entertainment,
for instance
, sports, dramas and talk shows etc. Children can enjoy cartoons in their leisure time. But spending too much time watching
TV
 and sitting idle can cause health problems,
for example
, weak eyesight, obesity and even insomnia.
TV
also
 gives liberty to children to watch adult content. Books,
on the other hand
, are very useful to enhance knowledge related to certain fields.
Moreover
, books are
also
 essential to polish language skills both

Suggestion
in
 native and non-native speakers. The only con associated with books while communicating
information
 is that it takes a lot amount of time as compared to
TV
, delivering the same
information
. Turning to films, which are now taking place of books in a modern
world
. It comes out that most of the
world's
Suggestion
world
 famous movies are scripted from the least famous books.
Such
 as film 'Die Hard' has its source from book 'Nothing
Last
 Forever' and the film 'Rambo:
First
 Blood' from the book '
First
 Blood'. Films often overshadow their source if directed effectively. Another good aspect of the film is that it takes about 2 to 3 hours to convey the whole story rather than publishing 200 to 300 page book, which takes about 2 to 3 weeks to be read. But it is argued by some people that it gives children a chance to watch prohibited content. In conclusion, I would like to say that all three mediums of communicating
information
 have their own unique benefits alongside disadvantages. You cannot formally educate students through
TV
, but by books.
Also
 one cannot convey daily news updates by books, but by
TV
.
