In the age of television, reading books is not as important as it once was. People can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books.
-------------------------------------------------------
Nowadays, the authority of traditional learning method such as reading books is facing challenge from new mass communication approaches. Some people believes that in the age of television, we can learn as much by watching TV rather than reading books. However, as far as I am concerned, although TV has merits that books cannot match, it is impossible for TV to substitute books in the future.

Admittedly, owning to new information technology, it is more convenient to learn information by watching TV. For instance, students can attend classes and have lessons by long-distance learning programs via TV; common people can be aware of what has happened 5,000 miles away from their homes; citizens can hear president's speech only by sitting in sofa and staring at the screen. All these daily experience illustrates that watching TV actually save us much time in gathering information we want in this fast-changing society.

However, although TV might be more convenient and comfortable, its merits depend on other factors which might make the TV less independent and more vulnerable. In order to function properly, TV relies on electricity and program signals. If there is a power-off, a lack of battery, no cables to receive satellite signals, the TV box cannot work. As a result, its advantages in enhancing learning are impossible. On the contrary, reading books offers more freedom. No matter whether there is a power-off or not, we can put books in our pockets and read it whenever we want. In this contrast, we know that although learning by watching TV seems with less effort, it depends on electricity and signals, which might turn the TV's advantages into disadvantages.

Moreover, another shortcoming of watching TV is distraction, which harms our learning effectiveness severely. At present, lots of TV stations are owned by companies and operated by business managers. In order to generate more profits, they produced huge amount of entertaining programs to appeal to the masses' interests at one hand, and broadcast advertisements as many as possible at the other hand. As a result, people who are accustomed to watching TV might be not only indulged in these superficial entertainments and also be exposed to too much junk information such as ads. In other words, we are more likely be distracted from learning when watching TV, and the convenience in learning that TV can offer turns into a counterproductive force.

In conclusion, although watching TV might provide us more convenience in learning, the merit is not warranted. According to the disadvantages of TV mentioned above, learning by reading books might be indispensable in people's learning.

rather [than 没有more，不构成比较关系吧。]

rather than 是连词。

[although TV might be more convenient and comfortable,: more convenient and comfortable as watching television might be,变换一下句式 ]

这个一定收下！

题目说：读书不如以前那么重要，看电视可以学到同样多的东西。

我说：
1.电视的确有优势。
2.但是电视的两个缺点使读书不能被取代。

有点跑，我再想想！
