 Today,people still argue about the value of TV.Nobody can deny the power if TV.It has an enormous,a very powerful,influence on our lives.On the average,Americans shend 30 hours a week watching TV.Is this influence good or bad?This is an unanswerable question indeed:It is hard enough to measure influence;and it is even harder to decide what is good and what isn’t.What is good,I suppose,is that many people are concerned about TV’s influence and that we have the power to change what we don’t like.
 Recently I read an article in the newspaper about the people of Monhegan Island,18 kilometers off the coast of Maine.These people don’t have electricity,and they decided,once again,that they liked it that way.Only a handful of people live there during the long winter,and they live without electrucity—by choice.Electricity,they think,would make things too easy and spoil their way of life.Maybe the young people wouldn’t want to go to town dances anymore.Maybe they would be more interested in staying home and watching television.

In the authors opinion,it is meaningless to say whether the influence of TV is good or bad since we have the power to change what we don’t like.
