Over a period of time, it has been observed children are spending more time viewing their favourite channels in comparison to yester years. We will hereby, discuss the pros and cons of spending long hours over television.
One of the beneficial use of television is to develop the intellectual skills and imbibe knowledge based learnings amongst the younger generation. To exemplify, in India children are love watching Bournvita quiz contest which hosts to test the intelligence level of the students from different schools and colleges. Channels such as Discovery & National Geography helps the spectators to learn about new discoveries, creations and lead as innovators. They even provide details about the biodiversity as well as cultural heritage of different places.
However, the above benefits cannot eclipse the detrimental impact it has on physical development as well as mental growth at an early age, since, children would avoid being involved in outdoor activities. As such, development of cognitive and interpersonal skills would also be adversely affected. Exposing children towards violence and menace over television can promote disharmony and promote unethical practices.
