WRITING ABOUT TV: TV IS BAD!

It’s true that TV is bad for us and I agree that the world would be a better place without it because I believe that we’ll probably have a better social life and more friends than now.
Some people approve of TV because they say that it’s entertaining, educational… But it depends on the type of programme you watch, However/ Yet/ Nevertheless, I think that many programmes have a bad and negative influence at people because sometimes young people want to imitate them in the real life and they can hurt themselves. For example the “Smack Down” and the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) where people fight with different attacks. So TV can entertain people but if we haven’t got any TV’s in the world, I think we probably will meet more --- our friends and we will have a better social life because we will go out more. Then, staying at home during many hours in front of the TV, watching different programmes, it’s bad for everyone. But it depends on the programme you’re watching, and personally, I think you can become mad if you watch programmes that make you laugh AT someone.
However, the only programmes WHICH are positive for people, there are the news, documentaries, and some films like Titanic, Mar Adentro… or something like that. In the other hand, many people who can’t move, if they haven’t got TV at home, they’ll feel alone and sad, so for them it’s clear that TV is a very useful invention. And for “normal” people who like being the centre of attention, they can participate in many programmes and have fun together.
In conclusion, if TV doesn’t exist we can have more relationships with other people and it’ll be like years ago when people went out and entertained themselves with board games, for example.
