Technology is improving and changing our life rapidly and continuously with no limits or measures worldwide. The whole world is being considered as a one place where anything can be known directly. With the improvement of technology in 1923 and with the help of Philo Farnsworth a new invention was developed which is called television. Television helped in bringing the world to our house as it is one of the entertainment tools in our life so it became an essential device in our daily life at least there is two televisions in each house. However, beside its positive side, there is a negative side of television where it affects the children’s attitudes and values and their life as well without taking seriously this issue into consideration. 


Each kid loves to watch TV as many moms keep their kids in front of the TV in order to stay silent so they can complete their work without thinking about the negative effects. Many kids’ cartoon shows violence which make children act aggressively and in bad attitude. For example, Tom and jerry show that make the violence part in a funny way and let kids think that yes, they can hit and make harmful acts with others without considering that this is an impolite and bad thing. According to statistics it shows that each child ends up by watching around 200000 violent acts by reaching the 18 years old. Another thing is that children aren’t fully aware to distinguish between what’s wrong and what’s right or between the fact and the fantasy. They like to make and repeat all what they see. Like when they watch Spiderman or any super hero, they think they can copy what the character is doing as many kids had died from this action from trying to fly like them and they think it’s something normal to act with bad guys like Spiderman treats the bad guys. Furthermore, kid’s performance will decrease due  to the low hours of sleeping. They need to sleep minimum eight to nine hours per night in order to be active during the day but such thing isn't happening and the reason is the television. Many kids have their own room and their own TV so they spend their night watching TV and going from one series or show to another. And statistics have showed that when a child watch one extra hour TV will tend to sleep seven minutes less on average per night. And this will have an effect on the academic performance where children will not be able to concentrate and study what is needed, they will be tired and need more rest. So, in other words we can say that watching TV all night will lead to not having enough rest which in return affect not having good grades and fulfilling duties required. In addition, TV isn’t performed to control our life or affect us negatively but we made these negative effects to happen by watching more than the normal. Most families sit at night after finishing work and all duties to watch TV instead of interacting together and sharing of how their day was. 

     In conclusion, it’s up to us to watch TV in normal amount or more. As parents have to let their kids make things that are more beneficial for them other than watching TV as they have to keep an eye on what they are watching what kind of show.
