Can the television be educational or does it play a negative role in the education?

Can television be educational? I think there are some advantages of television because you can find there a lot information- some news( 24 hours news programs), some programmes about nature and animals( Animal Planet or Discovery), some programmes about health. I think they are very useful for a young men who goes to school. Also you can find there some biographical programmes about important writers. That information you can use on your polish lessons. On TV you can also find a lot of great movies- movies that you have to watch because they expand our minds and consciousness.

There are also some disadvantages of television. First of all more than 90% of all programmes daze ours brains. There are so much soap operas, so much senseless commercials about washing powders and pain killers, so much reality shows and talk shows about my neighbour’s unfaithfulness or overweigh.

In my opinion television can be educational but you have to know how to use it in a good way. First of all you can not watch TV all the time. There are good, educational things to watch but also senseless and dazing programmes. You have to select things that you watch on TV. In otherwise you will turn into coach potato.
