Reading a book is better than spending time on computers or TV. Do you agree or disagree?
Our society, these past weeks, has been tested to its limits because of the unexpected quarantine that had to be enforced.

as to what is more beneficial for us to do come into existence; take on form or shape

surfing the web or watching Tv. In this
essay I will discuss what, in my opinion, is the best alternative.
Firstly
, as we are all aware of books are a really important factor in our lives due to the positive affect
, they have on us. The range of books is fascinating, and they all offer us a better understanding of the outside world, but a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon
effect
also
the emotional side of us. Furthermore
, they enrich our knowledge and of course improve our vocabulary which is important for all kinds of communication (written or oral). To illustrate, a survey carried out by the university of Cambridge showed that 4/5 people that read books on a daily basis have a more flexible vocabulary and impressive communicational
skills.

Secondly
, there are some pros and cons referring to time
spent on computers or the television. On the one hand, both take a part in broadening our horizons and sharpening our critical thinking. This
is achieved with the information that we accumulate from the news, shows, movies and articles we come across. However
, this
information is not always true, although
it seems like it. On the other hand
, the dangers that these media sources withhold are worrying. On the internet people can get hooked on gambling websites and loose a fortune or be harassed on chatting websites. In addition
, on Tv people can spend all their time
watching reality shows that have nothing constructive to offer them. For example
, the Greek government surveyed about what people have been doing on the web these past few weeks and saw a raise of 40% in gambling websites.
In conclusion, books and media have a lot to offer to the individual. In my opinion, people should spend their time
responsibly on both, but must be better informed about the drawbacks that the internet and tv have.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
