Reading or TV by seth gabrielsson

Reading or TV.
This idiotic, worldwide addiction has been in our world for many years now. This outrageous household object has been rotting children’s minds every day. I’m talking about television.

Television should not be allowed in houses. Because of tv people are getting fatter, the environment is geting worse, children's imaginations are unfortunately becoming miniscule, and viewers money is becoming wasted.

Scarily Australia is the fattest country in the world, no debate. Imagine if all the time you've wasted on TV and think if you spent those hours playing, and doing exercise. No doubt you would be the extremely fit. No doubt you would be healthier and happier. Unfortunately many kids these days come home, finish their homework and then sit for hours infront of the tv. If you are worrying about your weight at the moment then simply dont watch TV. Swap the screen for fun activities which involve movement and exercise.

It is a chilling thought that so much electricity is used just for entertainment. The environment suffers every time you press the ‘on’ button. Species are lost, trees are cut down, forests are being demolished for electricity. You easily help by just not buying a television! Humans are damaging the planet, only to watch television, and the planet is our home. Ask yourself, would you ruin your home for tv?

Books are wonderful things, it lets you use your mind and imagination. there is no moving pictures, no talking people, its all in your head. Books make you smarter, more knowledgeable of the world, and actually books help your spelling, and vocabulary. the best writers in the world dont watch tv, they‘re reading enthusiasts. Writers are smarter, and have a much wider vocabulary to people who watch tv all the time.

My last point is the fact that your money is being wasted. Your money that you’ve earned is buying endless DVD’s, countless tv show series, bigger and more expensive tv’s, dvd player’s, game consoles, and soon your electricity bill will scarily be more than double the person that doesn't own a tv.

So next time you think of watching TV, could you be doing something better? No doubt if you think this every time you will be smarter, fitter, more imaginative, and of course richer.
