In these modern times, just about every home has a televison. I think that no one can do without a television set at home. These are my reasons for which I think the television is important for our modern society.
The televison is a multipurpose equipment. The various channels that we can tune in to brings us entertainment, information and even education. There are several television stations in Malaysia which provide us with these services.
For English language entertainment, the Golden Channel, RTM 2, airs movies, sitcoms, dramas and even local and regional productions. The station picks only the best of these for screening. My favourite drama series is Ariana Rose. Its about the person who a care about love and family.
At specified times, the stations also bring us the latest news from around the world. One never has to buy a newspaper to get the latest news.
Another favourite of mine are documentaries such as The National Geographic . Watching these documentary programmes has made my knowledgable on such subjects as wild life and sea life. It is truly fascinating to watch these creatures of the wild of which I have no contact in the concrete jungle of modern Malaysia where I live.
Finally, the televison also screens popular sporting events, if not 'live', at least a delayed telecast. Such competitions as the Formula One and the Thomas Cup have been telecast 'live'. These are the reasons why the televison is important.
