TV plays a very important role in my
life. Although this is a traditional
way to be aware of something, I
prefer watching TV to using social
media sites. I think using social
networking is a waste of time as we
can visit a site to check one thing
and end up spending the whole
day ‘behind the screen’ not finding
anything useful for us. However,
TV is the main source of reliable
information and the window
through which we see the world. It
gives us an opportunity to ‘travel’
all over the world. I think it has a
power to educate and broaden our
minds. After having a hard day, I can
escape from reality only relaxing in
front of the TV.

Though not all social networking
sites are useful, but I prefer using
them to watching TV or reading
newspapers. Social media has
fundamentally changed the way
how television is made and
watched today. It is changing the
way we communicate. Social TV
helps us interact with TV
programmes. We aren’t just
watching a programme, we are
becoming part of a community and
sharing experiences with other
viewers all over the world. Instead
of being passive viewers we are
actively taking part in what we
watch. Nothing can be comparable
with sitting on the sofa and
facebooking your way through The
Voice, or sharing a tweet about
your favourite football team!

As for me, along with negative
points, social networking has lots
of good points. First of all, besides
watching different programmes
online and interacting with other
viewers, it makes it easy to keep in
touch with our friends, as well. For
instance, I can share my feelings
with my friends on sites like
Facebook or Twitter. I can express
myself posting my new pictures.
We can also make new friends by
connecting with friends of friends.
Social networking gives us a chance
to interact and communicate with
those who are far away from us.
I can’t imagine my life without it. It
is a great way to entertain myself
after a busy daily routine.

People in the past learnt about news
from newspapers. However, today
most people aren’t interested in
reading them. Nowadays everyone
tries to get the latest news about
what’s happening in the country
as well as in the world from TV,
radio or the Internet. Day by day
less people read newspapers. As for
