The author of this text tells us about the influences of television to family life.Probably all of us have observed the same things with the author,or even if we didn't observe the effects we have listened the memories and comments about this topic from our parents,grandparents..etc. As we read in the text, television came with good effects when it was at the beginning of its dissemination. Authors and commentors of that time saw it as "a real asset" which brings all family members together. However, after years the good impacts started to transform bad impacts unfortunately.In present time, TV is a machine which seperates family members and prevent the interaction between them. We are probably almost like the examples in ths text,don't we.. I want to tell something from my life related to this subject. Every summer my family,my grandmother, my cousins,aunts go to our summer house which is in a valley of Alanya. Although that is a valley, it is not such a primitive place. Normally, we hav electricity so we have our TV at home.Because we are very crowded in that home, there are more than one TV. So after dinner, all members seperating and going to watch a TV program. As I mentioned before,we have electricity there, but especially if the weather isn not so good, electricity cuts off very often.In these times all family members come together in one room then we talk,or do something different together.I always feel very happy in such conditions.. Like Marie winn,I also think that television has really bad effects to a family and I hope much more people start to realize this and decide to limit the times which passes in front of a TV,especially in the times when all family members are able to sit and do something together...
