People these days watch TV, films and other programmes alone rather than with other people. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
Recently, it has become increasingly common that
people
watch TV
series and movies alone rather than with others. Unlike it used to be in the past. While there are several advantages of this
development, I believe that the disadvantages are more significant.
To begin
with, the first
advantage of people
watching multimedia alone is that it might allow them to watch the contents they like. This
is because some people
prefer to watch certain content
not everyone likes. For example
, some people
prefer to watch the horror movies genre, and their family ,for instance
, might not share the same preference of liking horror movies. Secondly
, from a personal respective, this
development might cause people
to feel a sense of flexibility. The reason for this
is that if someone prefers to watch TV
series alone, they can pause the show if they are busy, or watch it whenever they wish on a mobile phone for example
. With that in mind, they would not interfere with others who would be watching TV
with them.
Having said that, the first
disadvantage of this
trend is if people
keep watching multimedia alone, they are more likely to become significantly less social. In other words
, spending time with family or friends while watching TV
is worthwhile as these gatherings encourage people
to discuss and argue with each other a lot. Unlike, if someone is watching TV
alone, they will likely develop depression from this
continuous loneliness. What is more, there are some people
such
as children and students who must not be allowed to watch whatever they like alone. This
is due to the fact that there is some sensitive content
that is
not suitable for their age. As a result
, without the guidance of their parents, these young people
can be harmed from the effect of inappropriate content
they are exposed to alone.
In conclusion, although
there are several benefits that watching TV
alone – brings predominately watching desired content
freely and personal flexibility- the problems it brings such
as people
become less-sociable and harmful effect on youngsters from inappropriate contents are impossible to ignore.Submitted by omarmohamed995 on
