tokens: TV has adverse effects on friends and family Nowdays there are different resources to entertain, educate and inform people . One of this resource is television; however television has some negative effects among some people . Therefore, I agree that Television has destroyed communication among friends and family . Some People spend a lot of time watching television, others even eat watching television, and some others make of this media a priority . First of all, some people spend a lot of time watching television . Instead of spend time with family and friends, they like to seat on a chair for hours . I know someone who wakes up in the morning and before even eat he turns the television on, he even records the programs he cannot watch during work hours . Sometimes his wife wants to talk before they go to work, but he only let her talk during commercials . So, she is used to his habit that she prefers to write him an email . Time with the family is gold, some people have to realize that and take quality of time to talk to them . Another way television has destroyed communication is when some people cannot even seat at the table and have dinner with the family . This is the time, when if they have children, they can share everything about school, a project and even concerns . Also, when there is a dinner with friends, some people do not have a fluid conversation because the television is again in between them . When family or friends gather together to have a good time eating and talking, this is not the reality in some cases . Finally, some people make the television a priority . I remember a friend told me one day that because she was watching a telenovela I could not go to her house a certain time during the night . Honestly, I was in shock! How she could say that to me? . As I have said, television is a great tool to learn, entertain and inform what is happening, but I agree that television has destroyed communication among friends and family as soon as television become a priority, spend a lot of time watching it and eat in front of the television .
