Television enables us to see things in distant places.
It is indeed one of the most wonderful things that
man has ever invented. Television not only entertains people but also teaches people a variety of important
things. Through this wonderful invention, we learn about people and events thousands of miles away. Pictures
taken in all parts of the world are also shown on television for entertainment as well as for instruction. Short
films based on popular stories are often shown to entertain millions of people all over the world. In some
countries, television is used to teach pupils and students many useful fields such as technology, art, science
and so on. Students who cannot go to school because of transport or other problems are taught all their lessons
at home through television. As television appeals to the eyes instead of the ears, people enjoy watching
television more than listening to the radio. Listening requires knowledge of many things, but what we see
with our eyes explains itself.
