Do you think Television is Decivilizing or Enlightening?

Tweet

I think whether television is decivilizing or enlightening depends heavily on TV viewers rather than TV itself. It is true that watching television in excess will result in decivilization . Heavy TV viewers will form habits of avoiding complexity, indulging in a visual stimulation instead of thought and giving up verbal precision. What is worse is that TV addicts will become "functionally illiterate. " They cannot read and write well enough to answer the want ad or understand the instructions on the medcine bottle .
