1、Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: print book have greater effects on society than television has?Technological innovations have brought about profound changes to peoples lives. Traditional learning habits are replaced by more efficient ones, and tedious reading tools give way to
2、 vivid watching machines. The debate over whether print books have greater impact on society than televisions have has been raging for some time. Actually, televisions have assumed an increasingly essential role in influencing our society. First, it is generally accepted that television is more prev
3、alent than printed books. Nowadays, every family has their own televisions, and even public places, such as shopping malls, schools, hospitals, etc, list televisions as necessary devices. Actually, televisions have already taken part in every part of our lives. This point is best illustrated by the
4、story of my brother. My little brother studies in a famous primary school in my hometown. Every teacher in his school is supposed to use televisions, because most of their academic classes have already put on televisions instead of on the print books. And even some of his homework must be accomplish
5、ed with the help of educational programs on the television. Thus, with more and more televisions are put into use, they are gradually replacing the function of print books.Second, compared with print books, televisions can provide latest information around the world. In other words, the news from te
6、levisions is always kept pace with the development of our society. Wherever there is a big event, you can follow it on televisions immediately. For instance, last week, I got the news and the details of the air crash of Korean air just 1 minute later after it happened on television, which is impossi
7、ble to accomplish by a print book. As everyone knows that the process to publish a book is complicated and time consuming, thus the information will be out of date when the book is finished. Therefore, there is no better way to get the fresh news than to watch televisions.Third, there is a variety o
8、f programs on television which can enlarge our outlooks and give us a long lasting impression of them. In fact, televisions convey knowledge in various and vivid forms, which make us quick grasp the core idea of the programs and remember it for a long time. However, it is easy to get distracted from
9、 the tedious paper, which in turn forms a poor memory. Take myself for example: learning from books takes me 3 times as much time as I learn the same content by televisions. Hence, it is more efficient to learn knowledge from our televisions.For these reasons, we can safely conclude that the television is too important a factor to ignore and it has significant influence on the development of our society.
