Children nowadays spend a great deal of time watching television. However, television can not 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 recent times, a greater number of hours are spent in front of the

television

by pupils. While some believe that knowledge gained from

television

is not that effective as books and knowledge of children are restricted. I disagree with the aspect due to certain reasons coupled with some reservations which will be explicated

further

. The

first

and foremost reason is that

television

is an audio-visual aid and one can retain

things

for a prolonged duration by

this

method. Due to advancements in technology, there are several ways through which difficult topics are made easy via animation or in form of narration.

Moreover

, there are certain programs broadcasted which involve facts and figures of the world apart from the academic curriculum.

This

eventually, leads to the enhancement of the knowledge of learners.

For example

, show names of Historical events proved to be very useful in learning history.

Hence

, stuff can be retained for a long time when learned through videos or series. Adding

further

to

this

, learning from textbooks became quite monotonous and children find it boring to grasp

things

. Due to which they lose interest in reading whereas, inculcating

things

with the assistance of modern gadgets make minors learn in a smarter way.

On the contrary

,

this

method has a detrimental impact on the vision of the individuals as the light of different wavelengths is emitted from the screen. To illustrate, most of the schools upgraded themselves to smart schools with the installation of

television

and projectors in classrooms.

Therefore

, learning through a screen makes reading interesting and a person can instil other facts apart from the academic curriculum. In compendium, the

television

in

this

modern time is considered as one of the smartest ways to learn

things

.

Although

its repercussions on vision cannot be overlooked.
