TV is inspiration and is good if you get bored.

Entertainment and brain-washing.

Television has brought a revolutionary change in the way people receive information and understand the world by shifting them from direct experience of life and environment to the second hand or contrived experiences, which make people feel that they are directly experiencing the events or different places.

Research studies have pointed out that perceptions of the television messages, images and ideas shape the entire social system. The present out reach of television has created awareness and appreciation of the socio-cultural ethos of our different regions.

Television has contributed to breaking the social barriers and inculcation of the scientific temper in our masses. Studies have shown that exposure to media leads to the appreciation of social and cultural ethos.

We cancelled cable last year, now work full time, and rarely take time to watch TV. Whenever we miss a fave show, we can always find it online. Many, many old faves on youtube. We mostly use TV to catch up on local news and weather.

Oscar Wilde said all art is useless, and that's exactly why it's so important. If we get to enjoy art it means we're well off enough to entertain ourselves with something completely and utterly useless. TV is entertainment and a sign that by just watching it ours lives are pretty good, and things could be way worse.
