 TELEVISION
 Some people think that the television is the most terrible invention of the twentieth century. They believe that it kills conversation within the family, exposes children to violent images, and discourages reading and thinking. I think that there is some truth in what they say, but I also think that they are ignoring the good aspects of television. Without TV we would know much less about what was happening in the world. The speed and efficiency of TV technology means that when something happens on the other side of the world, we can hear about it within hours. I think that TV also promotes understanding between different cultures. Before it was invented, very few people got the chance to see other parts of the world, or other ways of living. I think the educational advantages of TV outweigh the disadvantages.
