Children can learn effectively by watching television. therefore, they should be encouraged to watch television regularly at home and at school. to what extent do you agree or disagree.

For the
last
few decades, technology has evolved a lot and so have learning methodologies. Nowadays,
children
have a vast amount of options to choose from to learn something new. Some people believe that it is an efficient way to learn from the
programs
broadcasted on
television
and
children
should be motivated to see them wherever they are. I completely disagree with
this
idea and will support my opinion with examples. First of all, televisions have other
programs
running on the other channels which are not appropriate for kids. Students might get distracted because of
this
.
For instance
,
children
have a tendency to change the channel to see the
programs
they are interested in.
As a result
, their study gets affected seriously.Apart from that, kids see
television
by seating on a couch or lying in a bed. They may lose interest in physical training and outdoor sports.
For example
, In India, recent surveys show that
children
are far less interested in outdoor gaming and they prefer to watch
television
.
Therefore
,
this
may affect their health in a very serious manner and may suffer from some diseases like obesity.
Last
but not least,
television
screens emit blue light.
This
light is responsible for some dangerous diseases of the eyes and is not curable.
For example
, there was a recent case where a man in the UK lost his eyesight because of excessive exposure to blue light.
Consequently
,
children
may get affected if they are exposed to televisions more than required. Alternatively, Televisions provide many learning
programs
which are curated by experts. These
programs
also
have examples
along with
visuals.
Thus
, it makes it easy to understand the topic for
children
.
For example
, kids remember the things which they have visualised.
However
, getting knowledge from
television
has quite limited benefits. In summary,
Although
, it is a common belief that
children
can learn many things by watching
television
,as far as I am concerned, I believe
children
should not be exposed to
television
as it may result in distractions, less interest in physical training and eye issues.
