Agree/disagree: The purpose of television should be all educative, not entertaining.
The boosting of technology brings us many feasible facilities, such as computer, television, smart phone. With the capacity of multi-function, it is hard to tell the purpose of using one device. White collars can use computer to finish office related jobs as well as playing network games for children. It is the same reason for television. Sometimes we want to entertain ourselves, other moment we may prefer to acquire knowledge. Therefore, in my opinion, the purpose of television should be various for different range of people.
First of all, as a most common electronic product, television is prevalent in nearly every family. In the family which the owner is old people, the main purpose of television is entertaining, since there is no necessity for elders to learn any novel thing. People in an old age who are already retired from work, the core life is enjoying the rest of life with families. Because of easily operate and multiple choices of channels, television is most popular for elders. They enjoy comedy movies and classic music showing on the television with a cup of coffee and a case of cookies, this is all the elders would do with television. Thus, for old people, the purpose of television is entertaining.
However, for adults who work in office or factories, the meaning of television is not just an entertainment. As known to all, white collars have to work eight hours a day, they have limited time to be contributed to other use for one’s own sake. What if a person wants to enhance his or her ability by attending class with such few time? The television teaching is a good choice. After buying an educative channel, you can learn many new things to recharge yourself in Sunday afternoon in your home, without the tiredness and time spending on the way to attending class. Of course, entertainment is inevitable. If the Sunday is the studying day, well, the week days after work is relaxing day by watching television. With so many channels to choose, it is hard for you to find no attractive problems. So, the purpose of television for working people is both educative and entertaining.
However, student who is in the critical time of exam or quiz should use every second to study, including watching television. Take me as an instance. When I was in high school, there was a big television in our classroom. However, it is a pity that we were not allowed to open the tv, only the teachers have the right. The teacher would use the TV as assistant facility of teaching, showing us powerpoint and some small videos related to course. We were allowed to watch the TV program in 7 pm every day, at that time, nearly every channel in China broadcasted the same news program, and we were force to learn the content in that news program. The similar case happed on my cousin, his mother force him to watch educative channel every day. So, for student who is in significant importance of exam, the only use of tv is education.
As we can see, the function of television is various for different people. For elders it is entertaining, for students it is educative. And some working people have both the requirements.
