Television has become a common showpiece on every drawing room. The phenomenal attraction of Television has made it’s entrant even in the living room or at times even it is observed to be placed just below the newly bought split air conditioner machine in the bedroom so that the wife can press the button on the remote just before falling asleep.

At one point of time Television used to be called as the idiot box, which has become a foolish notion of ignorant people with so many mushrooming channels on the board.

Television has been able to hypnotize people of all ages irrespective of cast, creed, sex and status. A clerk of a government organization tries to relinquish all his frustration at the television serial. An unemployed young man tries to find out the solace from the Mega Hit film and tries to compare his fate with the hero of the movie and starts shifting all the blames to his luck for his such worst possible situation in life. A house wife always tries to get her break in front of the television serial, which shows an emotional outburst of another illiterate lady by which she has been turned to a miscreant from a simple native girl. May be the mother opens the cartoon serial to show the glimpses to smoothen the feeding process to her kids.

If we really look at Television has got an inescapable impact on each and every people. The Television lovers always argue on the positive impact of the TV by showing the example of world news and information channels like discovery and all. The innumerable media channels really opens up the door for global information and knowledge and this is also true many people watch those news channels to keep them up-to-date.

The mind boggling audio visual shows have got a deep seeded impact than newspapers or magazines.

The question can never be raised about the utility of a television, but the question remains about it’s usage. We can be humble enough to ask a housewife, how much percentage she watches the news out of her total time allotted for Television. Nobody has to answer us, but we want to raise this question within yourself, which can become a real self analysis exercise.

On the other hand the movies and most of the serials may temporarily give you a relief from your daily tensed schedule, but it also casts a tremendous impact on the frustrated young people, which may also lead them to create nuisance. The devastating effect of Television can be noticed, when we read some group of miscreants formulated the strategy of a bank robbery being inspired by some Television Mega Serial.

Even the imaginary cartoon movies had been observed to build up a devastating effect on kids, where they hardly differentiate between the virtual world of the movie and the real world. It’s good to watch that the hero can jump from an airplane to fight out 20 other people and take the princess along with him, but is that reality?

Psycho analysts have found several negative impact of Television mainly on the kids and house wives, where even young generation does not remain untouched.

The time has not come, when we can call television as a socio-economic scourge, but surely we have arrived at a stage, when we need to think twice before switching on the knob of the Television.
