Which one do you think has more effects for human beings,television or telephone?
Science has been bringing great changes to our society for centuries, leading us a colorful and convinent life. Among numerous inventions since the 20th century, television and telephone are two significant triumphs, which are widely used nowadays. Wacthing TV programs is the most common family entertainment and the majority of us contact with others by cellphones. Speaking of which one has more effects on us, I am personally in favor with the former one ,television.
First of all, television has also the communicational funcition in the broad definition. We talk with a certain group of people over the phone,but how can we communicate with the outside world in which we play a role as strangers? It's time for TV. On the screen, we know what is going on in a country thousands miles away, we get acquainted with distinct customs of other nations, and we even fall in love with various species of living creatures like sharks and dolphins though programs like Discovery. Last year, I saw the terrible earthquake in Sichuan province through TV news and donated part of my pocket money to the striken area. Therefore, I made the acquaintance with a little girl,Mei. She is an orphan survived the catastrophe. Now we always write to each other, exchanging our recent lives. I encourage her to hold the hope for a better tomorrow and her strong spirits also moves me. Without TV, I think I will never have the chance to meet this girl 1000 miles from my city and make such a special and precious friend.
Secondly, television makes our life much more colorful and interesting. It's imaginable that our progenitors could only go to sleep early for the simple reason that they had not much entertainment. Some writers preferred drawing inspiration from the gorgeous moonlight. But not everyone could be Kneats or Shakespear. Television lightens our night. The whole family can sit together,laughing for comedy and analizing the mysterious plots of detectives, or enjoying a live concert at home. I can still remember the days in which several families shared one TV in 1980s in China. After supper, adults and kids gathered in a small dinning room, watching a funny TV series with laughters burst now and then. What's more, they often talked about different chacaters in their spare time. The small TV offered great topics of conservation, making the simple life more beautiful.
To sum up, compared with telephone, television influences our life much more. It helps us communicate with the outside world, building up a bridge with people even we haven't seen before. We get rid of the boring and dark night by enjoying TV programs of all kinds. We experienced more surprising mutations since television stepped into our life. |
