The speaker asserts that people can learn as much by watching television as by reading books and further concludes that reading books is not as important as it once was. I concede that television can provide more efficient and immediate information in some respects. However, I strongly claim that book is the best method of gaining knowledge.
Admittedly, television has certain advantages over books for spreading information. On the one hand, the advanced technology of television provides us an express way to obtain the news. Nowadays, Cable and television network news reporting has largely supplanted newspapers for a simple reason that they can broadcast breaking news stories minutes after they occurred. On the other hand, television plays a unique role in providing the accurate and vivid images .As convincing as the truth, the television news shows every objective details of the events. Take Vietnam War for example; By the mid-1960s the Big Three networks were broadcasting daily images of the war into virtually every home in the United States. For many viewers, the horrors they saw on television were more significant than the optimistic reports of impending victory issued by government officials and repeated in print accounts. Thus, people can know the latest information by watching televison.
However, watching television could not become a motivated way of learning.Firstly there may be something of a bit difference between information and knowledge. It is widely accepted that information implies a collection of facts while knowledge base on facts and ideas. Secondly, some characteristics of television stint the process of learning. For the one thing, the TV programs are so limited that they are hardly designed to meet the majority's needs and interets. Moreover, the time of program is fixed and people cannot arrange the learning according to their schedule. For the other thing, in order to have a high audience rating, the program should be easy and clear to be understanded by public. It is more likely that people have to receive the same knowledge regardless of their different backgrounds of education. In a word, people can learn a few passively by watching television.
To the contrast, book is a top way of imparting the knowledge. In the first place, the book is capable of expressing unambiguously any concept that can be formulated in language. For instance, the physics theory usually contains some abstract concepts, and it is necessary to understand these concepts correctly in order to learn physics well. In the second place, books provide more space for the readers to image and reason. Take literature for example; As one old saying remarks: If there were 100 readers, there would be 100 kinds of Hamlets as well.A same novel to great degree, can inspire people to generate different images according to their own reasoning thinking. In the third place, books allow people to read repeatedly. As learning is a constant process of gaining the knowledge, it is less likely that we can understand completely by reading once. Unlike the television, book is a more adaptive media for readers to use repeatedly. In the last place, book is a inexhaustible resource which is easy to share.Thus browsing in a library is such a pleasurable experience that people can enjoy reading comfortablely.
In sum, people can learn more information by watching television, whereas if people want to gain useful knowledge, reading from books is a necessary way. the new media of television works as inferior substitutes for books when it comes to learning. |
