Children today spend more time watching tv than they did in the past.

Over the

last

two decades, the entertainment industry is going through a lot of changes. Various types of programs are available to cater to different age groups and especially

kids

. Today,

Kids

spend a high portion of the day watching programs made for them than in the previous decades. In the upcoming paragraphs, one is going to discuss the merits and demerits of the same and evolve a conclusion from them.

To begin

with, Television gives

kids

an opportunity to choose from a wide range of content. It does not only broadcast cartoons, but

kids

can

also

learn about the history and culture of their country as well as foreign countries too. There are various spots, science, wildlife, and geographical channels available. The different types of content help children determine their area of interest.

Besides

, It

also

prompts self-learning.

For example

,

last

month an interview aired on Television where an 8-year-old boy from the tribal area mentioned that he learned four foreign languages by watching International TV shows.

On the contrary

, It has been observed that children these days have become more addicted to television than in the previous decades.

Firstly

, they are watching TV for long hours rather than playing outdoor or indoor games. It has resulted in weight gain due to an inactive lifestyle.

Secondly

,

kids

are

also

losing interest in studies and their focus span has

also

been reduced drastically.

For instance

, today students are taking more frequent breaks while studying than the students of the previous decade. To conclude, Each coin has two sides. If watching is done in moderation

then

one can certainly gain benefits out of it but extreme anything creates disaster. Parents should

also

be careful about the hours

kids

spend while watching TV as well as they should

also

be careful about the type of content they are consuming.
