TVs

Out of every invention on the planet, the TV has to be one of the most influential, enduring and revolutionary, permeating almost every aspect of our lives and even influencing the way we live them. From the very first televised broadcast on the BBC in 1936 right up to the present day, TVs have had an incredible impact on the way we communicate, learn, and are entertained.

It could be argued, however, that TV has not necessarily had the most positive impact on our lives. Since the advent of television, people have become fatter and lazier, which a number of scientists have attributed to their TVs being one of the primary causes. TVs can cause inactivity, which can then lead to the advancement of poor diet and lack of exercise with health being at times severely affected. This does not mean that television should not be watched, or that you should not own a TV, but it does mean that you should be careful of how much you do watch, and make sure that you get enough exercise and activity into your day.

TVs are now sold all over the world, with most households in developed and economically powerful countries owning at least one. However, it could be argued that television is just another way for developed countries to separate themselves from developing countries, as it is a luxury that poor people are unlikely to be able to afford, though cheap TVs have made them easier to obtain.
