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 ways, and tedious reading tools give way to
2、 vivid watching machines. The debate over whether print books bring greater impact on society than televisions do 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 preva
3、lent than print books. Nowadays, every family has their own televisions, and even public places, such as shopping malls, schools, and hospitals, list televisions as necessary devices. Actually, TVs have become an important part of our lives. This point is best illustrated by the story of my brothers
4、. 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 print books. And even some of his homework must be accomplished with the help of edu
5、cational programs on the television. Thus, with more and more televisions being 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 televisions is always k
6、ept pace with the development of our society. Wherever something big happens, you can find 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. On the other hand, we all know that th
7、e process to publish a book is complicated and time consuming, thus the information will be out of date when the book is finished.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 of TV programs which can enlarge our outlooks and give us a l
8、ong lasting impression of them. In fact, televisions convey knowledge in a vivid way, which can easily attract our attention and make us remember the content for a long time. However, it is easy to get distracted from the tedious paper, which in turn forms a poor memory. Take myself for example: lea
9、rning from books takes me 3 times as much time as I learn the same content from televisions. Hence, it is more efficient to learn knowledge from our televisions.For those reasons, we can safely conclude that televisions is too important a factor to ignore and they have more important influence than print books on the development of our society.
