The author of the text "TV: the plug-in drug" mentions that TV is the bad seed of everything.It affects children, married couples, social communicatition in bad ways.The serious damage of TV is mostly to a person.When a person watches long hours of TV, the communication skills of that person is damaged.
These are her ideas but i dont agree with her.I think TV is a good entertainment instrument when people have free time and have nothing to do.Reading books and communicating are ofcourse other options, but i think sometimes people just wanna sit and do nothing! At those times TV becomes our best friend.You dont have to make an effort to watch it and it entertains you.It gives you joy, it provides you comfort and it expects nothing! On this big universe, is there anything else that gives you that much pleasure and still wants nothing???
On the other hand, its true that in Turkey, people dont know how to watch it.They sat infront of it for hours and they enjoy killing their time which is sooo precious...
The publishers and TV channel managers know how addicted the public of Turkey to the TV, so they extend a 70-90 minutes film or a show to 130-150 minutes with summaries of the previous episodes and commercials so that they earn MUCH MORE MONEY!!!
I'm against this because they put the public like they are a bunch of idiots.So i save the turkish soaps -thanks to digiturk plus =) - and watch them with fastforwarding the commercials =)
The presantation group was well organized and dominant to the topic and the story.They developed a good thesis.At the end of their presantation, they mentioned their own opinions and it was nice to hear them.
Good observations of the Turkish situation. I am always shocked when a film or programme suddenly ends for a commercial break. Sometimes the break is so long I forget what I was watching! Digitürk Plus is a godsend...
