Aaron Moseley Assignment 5

Second Prompt

Like all things, television can be good and even beneficial in moderation. TV can provide a release from stress, a way to connect with friends, or something fun to do while you're bored. While it does have these benefits though, if abused it could seriously harm someone. It could encourage them to stay inside and not communicate with their friends and peers. It can help them procrastinate. If watched too much, it could convince someone to do absolutely nothing with their life.

TV is also a way for advertisers to reach out to customers about products. This can be beneficial, as it helps the economy and could provide someone a way to buy a product they needed but didn't know how to get. After all, most people hear about the products and services they pay for by way of television ads; even though it can get old quickly.

In all, TV provides a good form of entertainment and is beneficial to most if not all who use it. Unfortunately, it is easy to misuse and needs to be watched in small amounts.
