It is irrefutable that education is an important pillar in any human civilisation. In recent times, kids spend a significant amount of time watching television. Some people consider television as a reason behind less educated children, while they consider book as a prime source of knowledge. I tend to agree with this statement as people envisage creativity by reading books and try to look for motivation.
The most significant factor of reading is the application of knowledge. In other words, everyone has knowledge depending on their field, but the problem is implementation. Reading helps in resolving an issue by suggesting a few ways of implementation, which can be useful in the field of work. To illustrate this, Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, reads at least a book, over a weekend and try to implement those learnings in the following week. As a result, he is able to resolve issues in a far superior way than required with a better outcome.
On the other hand, television has always been a source of entertainment. There are a handful of shows that concentrate on education, but their rating is far lower than other. For example, a research conducted by an organization reported that the children who watch more television have a lower IQ. Also, it was reported as the 'stupid box' by the teachers, as it makes children do stupid things in the school. A solution to this is parents should, along with their children regularly read books, this will indulge them in a habit of reading from an early age.
In conclusion, despite television being a great source of entertainment, has less or no learning involved. In my opinion, books are and have always been the main source of knowledge, which has helped many individual's to accomplish goals in different field of work.
