It telecast dramas, musical shows,films,cartoons,cookery,handcrafts,needle work,sports,educational programmes,news etc.
News is very useful to everybody. We can hear and see what is happening around our country and world. Cookery demonstrations help us to have tasty foods and needle work and hand crafts gives lot of knowledge to the learners and those who are interested in that field. The educational programmes are very useful for the children. The teledrama's films, musical shows and cartoon give entertainment to people, Children can enjoy and improve their English by watching cartoons and sports.
But some children are highly addicted to the television. They are queued opposite the television looking at cartoons and various sports. It increases obesity in children, Some get bad eye sight too. Not only children even elders also sometimes behave the same way. They too will get obesity which later leads to diabetes and high blood pressure. That is the only disadvantage at the television.
We should use the television in the proper way. So, I don't agree the saying television is a "useful evil".
