' _- R" X- R7 PWith the birth of printing, the dawn of information generation approached-knowledge was not dominated by the aristocratic class. Such glory, however, paled when the television was introduced. The printed book merely enables people to get insight into the world; the television can lead an individual to the world. The printed book barely records historical facts; the television can report present news. The printed book just makes sense to educated people; the television, to everyone. Therefore, televisions play a much more crucial role in affecting people's lives.3 I' P# b( U5 D$ E6 M

Traditionally, it takes years for people to be knowledgeable to enhance their social status by reading books. The television, however, introduces an individual to the public, which enables a Cinderella to be a princess in a single night. Recall the instance of Chris Lee, the champion of "Super Girls", a reality show in China. Before she took part in the "Super Girls", she was merely a nameless student. It is the television program that makes her a well-known entertainer. Hence, it is the television, rather than the printed book, that endows people power to be in charge of their fates.

The television helps people know what is happening around the word through a live report, whereas written words have to be first directed, and then printed, finally when they reach the hands of people, it may be several days after the event have occur. Who nowadays would like to be still unaware of the results of the Olympic Games until paper media have come out while others have already enjoyed the whole game on a television? Accordingly, informing people of more fresh news, the television plays a more fundamental part in understanding the world.

Consider the various television programs. Not to mention "Discovery", driving a bunch of people disinterested in abstract science readings to the screen to learn the secret of the earth, or "The Sesame Street", imparting elementary language education to young children, even "American Idol" brings about a cluster of talented musicians into people's eyes, giving vivid music lectures to the public. Thus, the television is competitive with the printed book in education.6 ?) b/ G7 l X& Y

To sum up, since the printed book creates the splendid era of mass media, it is the television, in fact, that takes the step further, shaping people's lives at a deeper level. With the television, people become more active, informative and literate. |
