Watching television is a waste of time. Do you agree?

Nowadays, television has become a major part of our lives. Almost every home has a television. In fact, even restaurants, grocery shop, clinics and also mamak stores have televisions as a way to attract customers. We are now a television nation but this is not something that we should be proud of because television is not a vital necessity in our lives. Furthermore, too much television is eating our life away.
Watching television is a waste of time. When we watch television, we give it our visual and audio attention and there is very little we can do while watching television. We may enjoy a snack or two but that only ad up to the television does not allow us to do something else beneficial.
A television maybe a source of information but not all that it shows consists of useful information. We will find more beneficial knowledge from books and other resources compared to television, things like sobe opera, telecommersial, entertainment programs are obviously junk but many of us seem to enjoy feeding on it every day.
Besides that, people like students tend to spend too much time on television and forget that they have other responsibility. They will not be a good student when television time has occupied most of their time. Consequently, they will have home works not done, revisions forgotten, project incomplete and soon their great will decline.
As a conclusion, watching television maybe a good way to relax our mind but it is never a good thing to overdo the habit. If we spend too much time on television, we will only end up missing out on other good things in life one day. Therefore it is time to switch off the television and start doing something else instead.

In addition to this, we can try gardening during our free time. Gardening can calm our nerves and beautify our living surrounding. Therefore, our home can look more beautiful and natural which will further enhance our sense of pleasure.
