In our modern day and age, it is quiet common to find a wide variety of electronic item in every household. Out of all electronic gadgets available in the market these days, I think the television set is the most common electronic item seen in the house since it can be used for a wide variety of purposes. It seems like most people today would want a television in their home because it has become accepted as one of those items which they consider an absolute necessity. I really don't think it is, especially if one has a computer. Almost every year there is something new and soon people come to believe that they need it.
We do have a television set at home, but I don't really watch the programs and serials on the television very much. It might sound a bit strange, but it seems like it is just the thing that makes the home looks like a home. For instance, most of the houses have a couch, dinning table, study table and stuff like that to make the home more complete.
The other thing is it is one of the resources of the entertainment. Most of the shows shown might not be really good educational value, but we have the choices of what to watch and what not to. The people who have one are usually addicted to it and they simply cannot imagine a life without it. The people who don’t have one want to get one soon. First it is because sometimes they feel really feel bored at home and they simply have too much time on their hand. Secondly during our hot summer months when everyone is at the office and the kids are at the school, it is very quiet everywhere during the 10:00am to 4:00 pm time which usually drives these people up the wall sometimes.
Television is not one of those necessity items like food, clothing, water and shelter. You can get most of your news and entertainment stuff from various sources like the radio, net, newspapers, magazines, etc also if you prefer to stay updated to the latest info. For me, it is not much of a news medium but a form of entertainment and we like to watch movies. Sometimes we use it as a way to bring our family together and these movie sessions provide the perfect opportunity. In the busy, hectic and the daily grind, a little bit of entertainment with the family is really essential to make our life happy.
I guess I could live without television but not without my net connection. I would get really bored if it suddenly died on me for an extended period of time. I remember one time we had a power failure in our city due to high velocity winds and heavy rains for many hours and there was nothing we could do but sit there and wait for the electricity to come back. We do have emergency power back up which switches on automatically when the power goes out, but we only have it connected to the lights and the ceiling fans. It was like "what are we going to do now"? It was starting to get really boring until I logged into my laptop and started surfing the net. The time really flew by really fast. Sure we could have had some more family quality time but what do we do after that? Considering that it has become one of those “must have” things that every house should have: Do you have a television at home and how important a role does it play for yourself and your family? Would you mind if one day you didn't have one?
