Watching Television: Social Stereotype After the invention of television by Philo Farnsworth in 1927, this is the most common thing that can be found in any household around the world . But it does not have the good reputation expected in homes because in every home it is believed that television helps make people lazy, fat and, in the worst case, addicted. For example, girls are supposed to be addicted to TV series, boys to cartoons, and boys to sports programs. Generally, when seen on blogs and online magazines, people's fatness is also linked to TV and serials. So there is a stereotype that watching television is a bad habit. If any child watches television, it may not be the best thing their parents want to see, because they want them to be productive. Furthermore, even in this case the main problem is the contents presented on television. A Surgeon General report last year concluded that 61 percent of all television programming contains violence. This gives the statistic that if a child spends 3 to 4 hours a day watching television, they will see 8,000 murders on the small screen (smith). It might help with the child's violent temper, but that's not all television does. If we see in detail the advantages of television have overcome the disadvantages and it is the best medium of communication in the world. Although watching television may be considered bad and may contain social taboos, it has more advantages than disadvantages and is one of the best scientific innovations brought by human beings.

Despite the social stereotype that watching TV is wrong, there are many benefits of TV that both people don't care about or want to care about. But the fact is that either people love or hate TV, they cannot avoid it and it continues to play the major role in their life as a mass medium, entertainer and provider of education. The new generation of televisions are the smart TVs which also simplify the three aspects of gaming, web browsing and TV watching and are also easy to watch which continues to improve it. It is not wrong to say that TV is the main weapon to stay in touch with new technologies and what is happening in the world before being left behind..
