Does TV provide a good form of entertainment? Is it just a convenient
delivery system for advertisers to send their messages to the masses? Is it an
inane use of time? Can it be all three?
The television was invented for the sole purpose of entertainment in the beginning and evolved into an educational tool, medical tool, and an advertising tool. In my opinion I believe
T.V is a pretty effective form of entertainment with the ability to trap people's eyes on its glowing screen for hours on end as they sit in a trance soaking in information ,entertainment, educational content, and new ideas, realities, and fantasies as time slips away. Many say that T.v is a waste of time and that you could be doing much better things than sitting around being a "Couch Potatoe", but to me it's all based on how you view life and time in the first place. To those who believe in an afterlife, life on Earth is just a waiting place until they die as we all will and live for eternal life in heaven or whatever they may call their afterlife. So T.V as long as it is entertaining can be a good thing, aside from the advertisments which are very annoying to people and not the reason they pick up the remote and press the faded red power button, and that is why dvr was invented so people could turn on their brand new 100 inch plasma plasma or their 1980's 6 inch portable t.v. All so they could sit and thave their mind captivated by a show or movie or documentary

Whether t.v isa good form of entertainment or a waste of time or a delivery system of ads is all obviously a matter of opinion and ho we choose to live life and how we view life. Whetther or not we value one of the most influential inventions and most entertaining invention of all time is a matter of opinion.
