| Long-term damage to television |
eye strain
Watching a lot of TV shows and colorful illustrations can damage the eyes as a result of high brightness and accuracy, resulting in glitches such as shortsightness or long eyesight, which makes an individual desperately need to use medical glasses to correct vision, and a person loses his or her desire to sleep because of waiting for his or her favorite TV shows, causing him or her to lose a lot of time at night and sleep.
Wasting time
Watching television for long periods of time causes a person to waste his or her time, while being able to use this lost time to do more important or useful work; to exercise sports, to read, to perform the social duties required of him, to communicate with friends and coworkers, to devote special time to unleashing his imagination and creativity, to perform certain necessary tasks such as doing homework, or to perform his favorite hobbies.
premature death
The Journal of the American Heart Society published research on the duration of television viewing and its relation to the length or short life of a human being. According to this research, watching television for three hours or more a day makes an individual at risk of premature death. This risk is doubled compared to a person watching television for only one hour or less a day. Studies have shown that for every two additional hours spent watching television.
Imitating scenes of violence
Television stations often offer scenes full of violence, criminality and other morally inappropriate scenes, which have negative effects on children and adults, where children imitate what they see as violence on television, believing that the world is a frightening place and that something bad is going to happen to them. Ongoing studies have shown that there is a distant link between watching violence on television and the hostility that appears in one's personality from childhood.
