Some people say that television is useful for education, while others say it is more useful for entertainment. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Although

a group of

people

believe that

television

is helpful for educational purposes, others,

, believe it is more helpful for entertainment.

This

essay agrees with the latter group because

hosts a variety of talk shows. On the one hand, documentaries are streamed on

For example

, researchers showed that individuals are more likely to recall information and facts if they discuss the topic rather than just listen to someone talking.

or even showing the process of building a house.

For instance

, the Ellen Show is a popular talk show that hosts celebrities to talk about their lives and play games. It is very successful because young

watch it every day for pleasure. In conclusion, even though

streams documentaries that are considered to be highly educational,

people

do not retain

this

information as much as when discussing the topics.

Television

is more useful as an entertainment tool.
