Television is more popular than books this day and age because simply put, people do not enjoy to take the time and effort. Television is an easier method to get entertainment. Books cause people to think critically and most of the human populace surprisingly doesn't enjoy that. While watching television people don't have to do anything, they just sit there and watch the entertainment to come to them. Another bonus for television is that it is not as time consuming as getting invested into a really swell novel. Furthermore television is semi hypnotic in that it causes people to become entranced into staring at the bright screen over a period of time.

I disagree because I believe that watching t.v. is better than reading a book. Although reading a book is better because it makes you think a lot and teaches you new words, watching t.v. is something that you should rather do on your free time. When you're watching t.v., you are less stressed out because you don't have to think a lot. Unlike reading a book, you just read words. In my opinion, I'd rather watch t.v. and relax. Then again, everyone has different opinions.
ReplyDeleteThis was one of the best journal topics. I agree with you on that books are more time consuming but can make you think more which could enhance your vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteI agree with television is more popular then books now a days. Watching television is less work then having to read a book. Television involves just sitting there. Reading books is time consuming. Having to choose between both would show what kind of person you are. Everyone has there own opinions on how they see this.
