TV is just another product on the market
As much as I’d like to stick my nose in the air and say that I have better things to do than sit glued to a screen, I like TV. Admittedly, I don’t have much time to watch TV on weekdays, but I frequently indulge on lazy Sunday afternoons. But I enjoy being able to sit, captivated, for an hour, not having to think about my looming homework. I don’t really get attached to shows at all: I would never tune in on a schedule. I’ll watch pretty much anything but sports and those trashy VH1 shows. As for whether it’s a hidden evil, I think TV is like most things in the world: designed to make money at pretty much any cost. TV certainly isn’t the soundest investment in your health and wellbeing, but there’s nothing wrong with it in moderation. However, I tend to multitask when I do watch TV, and so sometimes the quality of my weekend homework suffers. That is probably the only (noticeable) negative effect TV has on me. Then again, who knows what I might be without it.
