The television has a greater effect on people’s lives than the telephone does. Do you agree or disagree?

So today is blog fourteenth and the blog topic is “The television has a greater effect on people’s lives than the telephone does. Do you agree or disagree?” I totally agree that the television has a greater effect on people’s lives than the telephone does. The television is propaganda. Unlike a telephone (which you can only talk and receive the persons tone), a television is a visual aid and you can hear what others are saying.

The television has a large effect on people because it can be informative, a good or bad influence. For example the television is informative because it has news from parts of the world talking about what’s going on in their country, saying if there is a problem such as a war. Being informative doesn’t have to be about politics either. It can be a cooking network teaching you how to bake cookies, or to cook spaghetti.  The television can also introduce to new and more advanced products. Which is a very good thing; it also shows advertisements about children who can improve in their studies, or something with an educational value, like saying no to cigarettes or a “don’t text and drive” advertisement . Some bad influences is that they can promote types of cigarettes (it’s not only saying no to it but can also promote them by someone else), types of alcohol they sell, they even advertisements on condoms and how durable and good they are, making young children watch this isn’t very good.

As for a telephone the only effect that it has on people’s lives that I can think of is that it helps us communicate with other people throughout the whole world. That’s one of the largest effects that telephones gives in society. So.. Yeah that’s why I think or agree that the television has a greater effect on people’s lives than the telephone does.
