[T1388]Tv Viewing Is Harmful For Children

by Justin Lynn, Jus

Through television, individuals are kept informed and entertained. News programs bring them closer to their neighbors and even with citizens of different countries around the world. An event in Moscow can be seen through the television from as far away as Australia.

Entertainment is one thing that should never be gone from the vocabulary of people across the world. And the television has made it possible to entertain the citizens of the world. A sporting event in Germany like last year's World Cup can be broadcasted and watched by millions of people from around the world. Such is the power of the television.

Although studies have shown that too much time spent in front of a TV set can harm the eyes not to mention affect the relationship in a family, the benefits of the modern day television is hard to put down. Large companies from different industries use the television as a medium to convey their messages to consumers via advertisements. Artists and directors use it to express themselves and in the process invoking emotions on viewers which can uplift their spirits. Indeed, the television is a wonderful creation and it is only fitting that through the years, it has been improved.

Today, TV is the world's most popular form of entertainment. Numerous channels are available covering different subjects. Some are focused on giving out information just like Discovery Channel and the National Geographic Channel. There are also channels which specialize and show only movies like HBO. There are also news channels like CNN and BBC. Lifestyle networks and channels with "reality" shows are the rage these days.

High-definition television is also the favorite of consumers today. These TV sets offers much clearer pictures and better sound quality. With the advent of this technology, companies providing direct broadcast satellite services to TV viewers also increased. One such company is DISH Network which has a wide consumer base in North America. Said company offer HDTV to their consumers as upgrades. The company installs satellite dish and satellite receiver boxes which are needed for the viewer to receive HD content broadcasted and distributed by the company.

Said company is a subsidiary of EchoStar Communications Corporation. It started operating in 1996 and for more than ten years has become one of the leading providers of HD content to viewers not only in the United States but in the whole continent.

The company has been steadily increasing their hold on the American viewing public. In 1996, said company had 100,000 subscribers. Eleven years after, DISH is proud to announce that they already have more than 13 million subscribers. That number is expected to increase as the company continues to upgrade its services and continue its dedication toward protecting its consumers from overpricing.

Well it would seem this is definitely it! Electronics manufacturers have been embroiled in an all out war over the latest technological debate – plasma versus LCD TV's. Here, in an online exclusive just for your information are the results of the war, the findings of the debate and the conclusion of all the advertising, marketing and campaigning for one to beat the other in a showdown of unprecedented proportions:
They're pretty much both the same.

Of course, I could leave it there but then I wouldn't have an article, just a paragraph. However, there is your answer to the sixty four thousand dollar question, or to be more precise, the £800 question, for that is the average price of both the plasma and LCD TV. Buy either and you will get a fantastic quality of picture, you will get clarity of sound matched by both parties and you will get it all at a very competitive price.

For those still looking to argue the case, all you have is the fact that LCD TV's use less energy, thus conforming to the ever interfering European Union directives. Of course, this is a temporary issue as plasma's are in the process of change to allow for this legislation. So, before long, we will be back here again.

I guess at the end of the day much will depend on your personal preference in purely aesthetic arenas (not that easy to say!) and whether or not you feel a loyalty to a particular company.

Of course, you could make your decision based on ethics if you were stuck for a reason to debate your TV choice around the social gathering of the moment. You could argue that companies such as Bravia have always maintained their integrity to the environment and never ventured down the money grabbing path of gas guzzling plasma's out of obligation to the near extinct breeds from the Poles.

You could say that Bravia have stuck to their guns throughout the debate preferring to forgo sales when less eco-friendly people defected to the plasma side of the fence and they have quietly sat back secure in the knowledge that their ecological awareness would win through.

You could also argue with those on the plasma team that yeah, the TV's are huge, yeah they're lovely and clear and yeah, they're cheap but at what price? Pushing our gazillions of atmosphere destroying 'stuff' and hogging all the electricity is not green, it's not ethical and it's not right. But it does make them a lot of money. So we get to see our favourite soaps in super size – what are we all? American? Everything has to be big at the expense of right?

No! Now is the time to stand up and be counted. Shun the use of massive Panasonic ozone destroying plasma and opt for a serene and pleasant and very, very green Bravia LCD TV. This is not a sales pitch – these two companies are purely examples of the directions we should be looking depending on what we want from our at home entertainment. LG, Hitachi and Bang and Olufsen also make plasma and LCD TV's so take your liberty and shop to your hearts content, making the right choice for you, your family and the children of the future.
