TELEVISION: ITS MERITS AND DEMERITS
Television is one of the many wonders of modern science and technology. It was invented in England by the Scottish scientist J.N. Baird in 1928 and the British Broadcasting Corporation was the first to broadcast television images in 1929. Previously the radio helped us hear things from far and near, spread information and knowiedge from one corner of the globe to another. But all this was done through sound only. But television combined visual images with sound. Today we can watch games, shows and song and dance programmes from all corners of the world, while sitting at our own homes. TV can be used for educating the masses, for bringing to us latest pieces of information audio-visually(শ্রবণ এবং দর্শনের মাধ্যমে-একই সঙ্গে) and can provide us all kinds of entertainment even in colour. But as in all things, too much of televiewing(টিভি দেখা) may prove harmful. In many cases the habit of watching TV has an adverse effect(বিরূপ প্রতিক্রিয়া) on the study habits of the young. When we read books, we have to use our intelligence and imagination. But in most cases TV watching is a passive(নিষ্ক্রিয়) thing. It may dull(তীক্ষ্ণতা নষ্ট করে) our imagination and intelligence.
