Television vs. Print: The Battle Rages On

It was an unbelievable fight between television and print. Both Pagila and Postman brought up some key points that sent their opponents staggering into the corner. But in the end, after I judged and tallied up the final scores of the fight, I have determined that television is the winner.

Television wins this fights, hands down because print has become a thing of the older generation. The ideas of moving image fascinates us and our way of receiving information, rather than reading word after word, page after page of material until you bore yourself to death, is more appealing. Most children are watching television for their entertainment and most adults are watching the news rather than reading it. Times have changed since the television was invented. Television is a fun, effective way we get all of our information and entertainment. Our generation responds to visual aids rather than reading and coming up with a conclusion. These visual aids work and is celebrated in classrooms with televisions. I know some people that get a lot of enjoyment out of reading and they like to use their imagination. They find it very rewarding knowing that they finished a 500 page book. Who has time for that? I hate reading, but I have to do it if I want to pass my classes. Reading is becoming second nature because it is so dull. Times are changing and people want to see it rather than do it on their own.
