Television in India is turning people to watchers than doers
Television in one of the biggest creativity of the science. In today's century the television's popularity is touching peaks. As the days are increasing, the viewers are also increasing constantly. As the title says that, "Television in India is turning people to watchers than doers", I totally agree with this statement. Now a days people are so addicted to television that they dont want to skip a single show and especially the one in their favourites list. But the major problem is this that whom to blame or whom to curse for this situation- the television,the shows telecasted on television or to the watchers that is 'we people'.
Years before, one of the great invention of science was proved to be a boon for people, now has turned into bane. There is no doubt in saying this that, television is now among one of the several reasons in putting a barrier to the growth and development of the human capabilities either by affecting physically, mentally or at work place but somehow and somewhere it is a hindrance for people. Spending too much time in watching television has adversely reduced activeness and zeal in people and has also deprived its social activities in the society.
On the other side it is also affecting health of the people. Watching various unrealistic programmes based on fictions, people now have started thinking like the same and infact many of them even dream of that unreal world in reality. Even in reality also instead of discussing or focussing on their day to day life they discuss and focus more on the life shown on the television or about their favourite characters in television. The daily soaps have grabbed the minds of the people in such a way that they even sometimes copy the acts and dialouges used in the shows. How can news channels sit back in this race, infact these should be listed on top in turning people into watchers. The quality of news is constantly degrading day by day. Now there are hardly two or three news channels left which show the news that can give some education or knowledge or useful information otherwise mostly news channels focussing on either showing astro tips or crime report or masala news. These astro tips have made people to depend more on luck and not on work and the crime reports has just developed fear in the minds of people. Vulgarity has taken the place of education. As you can see the TRPs of the entertainment channels are touching heights and those of education channels are left behind in this race. The reality shows are even affecting the mind of small kids as they start dreaming of that charm and even adopt those actions and activities which is somewhere harmful for them.
Due to the rapid increase in television watchers, the problems are also increasing. Spending more time with television is affecting their health and is makong them physically dependent. Even it had turned the thinking of people negatively, as now they dont believe in doing work instead they are adopting short-cuts in life by taking ideas from television as they are not aware of the output or result of it. Watching television for so many hours not only affects the eyes but it also gives mental stress and creates idleness. And its also giving birth to unrealistic dreams and expectations in the minds of people as by watching such things their desires are also increasing and they want to achieve that kind of standard of living without doing hardwork. The shows like C.I.D. might be popular among people but thinking from other side it is giving birth to new ideas and tricks of doing crime. All this is showing that television has moreover turned people to watchers than doers.
If watching television is giving some positive energy, educational information or some good news than its worth but if its depriving the growth and development of people than surely its a curse.
