Books Or Tv

"Reading books is better than TV"

In my opinion I don't think reading books is better than TV. I disagree with books being better than TV. I can see where other people may come from when they think it is though. People say that TV ruins your brain and makes u less smart, although there are many channels or programs on TV that are very educational. Also the news every night at 6 pm is a great way to keep up on the latest things and changes around the world. You can buy a news paper everyday but in the long term run you would save a lot of money watching the news and setting aside 30mins a day at night after work relaxing and watching the news.

I strongly disagree that books are better than TV. TV can do everything a book can, its just quicker and easier. In my personal opinion i would much rather sit in front of the TV watching the Simpsons, then sitting at home reading a book. TV is also educational. If you wanted to learn about animals, then would have to spend up to $50 on a book on animals, OR, you could go to the TV and go to the animal planet channel. The animal planet also lets you learn about a huge variety of animals which wouldn't be in just 1 book, so it also saves you money.

TV is also a great way for the family to come together. The whole family could sit around the TV on a Saturday night and watch their favorite show together. The whole family wouldn't be able to come together and read the same book together though. Its also great for younger kids that can't read yet, or can but not very well. After school kids would much rather sit in front of the TV and chill, than sit down and read more after school.

In conclusion, I strongly disagree that books are better than TV. TV has what books have to offer, and more. TV is quicker and easier, and more entertaining. I think that more people should watch TV than pick up a book after school, I still think books are important, but I would rather watch TV after school, then read whilst trying to get to sleep at night.
