Ever since its advent, television has played a major role in our lives. However, it also has some disadvantages that most of us fail to recognize. First, extensive viewing of violence portrayed on television causes greater aggressiveness in children. Some even end up in hospitals in an attempt to imitate those unsafe acts. Second, ongoing studies have shown a direct link between excessive TV watching and obesity, insomnia, or other health issues. Last, television takes up the time spent doing more important things, such as communicating with your family or being engrossed in your hobbies. In a nutshell, although the downsides of television are not to neglect, a moderate amount of TV will surely be of benefit to its viewers.
