Some people say that television is useful for education while others say it is useful for entertainment only.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Some would argue that television is helpful for educational purpose, while others believe that the sole purpose of television is enjoyment. This essay will argue that although it is used for amusement after a busy day, I believe that television is a multipurpose device, one can get learning benefits from a plethora of informative programs.

These programs give latest and up-to-date information about the recent activities happening across the globe.

For illustration, the institutes for civil superior services recommend their students to watch news channels for at least 2-3 hours daily in order to pass the exams. I believe that there is a load of information for the ones who intend to increase their knowledge.
To conclude, although after a long tiring day television helps release stress and refreshes the mind, while I believe that individuals can get a lot of helpful material for their study at a
