But, everything is not good here. So there are lots of disadvantages of television, but these disadvantages are prominent when there is excessive use of television. For example, if students watch television all the night, they cannot awake early in the morning and so their school, college activities can be affected.
If housewives watch television all day, then they cannot complete they home tasks at time which can results in domestic problems. Different movies and dramas can badly impact one’s moral values, because sometimes the movie or drama is only fantasy but one can take it serious. Excessive use of television can also cause eyesight problems in early ages.
