Television provides a way to live an adventure while sitting on the couch or lying in bed. Anywhere you want to go, anyone you want to be, any alternate reality you want to experience. Conveniently, all at the touch of a button.
I watch television occasionally, although less frequently now than over the summer or a couple years ago when my school work took up less of my time. Watching Netflix helps me relax after a long day at school. But I must be cautious - an interesting plot line might suck me in. This leads to a night of procrastination which eventually brings a lot of stress.
It is important to limit how much television we intake. Television provides a nice little get-away from the real world but spend too much time away from reality and soon you'll realize you've missed out on life. An episode here and an episode there won't hurt. But the television promotes a fake universe. And why live behind a screen when a real world full of wonderful new windows of opportunities lies in wait?
