People these days watch TV, films and other programmes alone rather than with other people. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays, there are some
people
who prefer to watch
TV
alone rather than with other
people
. The disadvantages of
this
trend outweigh their benefits. As
people
are more isolated and more
electricity
will be consumed.
This
essay will discuss both ideas in depth in the following paragraphs.
Firstly
, watching
TV
programs alone means the highest possibility of isolation from others. Because there are more communications will take place when the individuals are watching something together.
For example
, if there is a
TV
show for selecting the best voice, there will be more discussions or even arguments among watchers. Without other
people
, these discussions and/or arguments are not possible, which eventually enhance the feeling of isolation.
As a result
,
this
drawback outweighs any other benefit of watch television alone.
Secondly
, if everyone uses the television and watches it alone,
that is
means a high amount of
electricity
will be needed for the house. In the other words, watching
TV
by each family member at a separate time will require more
electricity
than it should be. In Libya,
for instance
, the amount of electric current consumed by each house increased by 45% in the 1970s, when there was a spread of televisions among family members. Without watching
TV
by each member alone, the
electricity
consumed will not be increased into the higher figures.
Therefore
, more
electricity
will be lost which outweigh the other advantages of watching
TV
alone. In conclusion, watching
TV
alone is becoming a controversial issue.
This
essay discussed that the disadvantages of
this
trend outweighed their benefits either by enhancing the feeling of isolation in many
people
or by consuming more amount of
electricity
.
