Education Through The Television :: Technology, TV, Informative

Education Through The television system"TV is justly called the boob tube." I disagree, in my opinion,television has many positive and informational uses. Television is now beingused more in school because it is proven that students remember and comprehendbetter than from a regular class lecture.     Television has constantly been good for spreading the news of current worldevents but it is now being used for more educational and informationaldocumentaries. Television is becoming more and more an educational essentialfor children. Before they start school, children learn many basic andfundamental tools from television. Most kids learn the alphabet and how tocount from shows same(p) Sesame route and Barney. As children get older there aremany story-telling shows that either feature stories with good morals or theytell masterpiece stories like Hercules, hunchback of Notre Dame, etc.. Some ofthese stories are now a part of our culture and children know and understandthem because of television.     As people grow older, television, at least for recent generations, playsa large role in socialization. On many sitcoms and talk shows one can learn ofproblems of today like teenage pregnancy, poverty, drugs, etc.. Television alsoseems to sponsor somewhat decent morals, a very religious person may not thinkso but television still follows the good guy-hero, lamentable guy-loser theme. Fromcertain shows on TV one can learn what sort of things are socially acceptablefor instance fashion, behavior and hobbies.Television features many "how-to" shows like gardening, painting, cooking,etc.. It also has many documentaries on foreign lands and
