The television. What an invention...! Originally, the idea of an object like that had good purposes : spread awareness, educate and help in communication. Today, I'm proud to say, it has achieved its objectives. I am completely aware of what goes on in Rakhee Sawant's life. I am educated daily about moral values by the television shows which show women getting abused in unimaginable ways. Of course, communication takes place with channels that show teleshopping (24x7!) where I can see really fake people speak utter rubbish and con me. The inventors of the television must have got transferred from heaven to hell for the same deed. Poor chaps.
The Internet. The world has become a global village, and truly, the population behaves like its rural counterpart. The internet is a fantastic source of communication and its indeed our fortune that we have it. But things have gone too far for the younger generation. Instead of running out on the streets and well, being kids, they spend their time following 'celebrities' (PC and the bollywood herd), raising fake farms on their windows and having a mafia like setup. All this is done virtually, but honestly, getting 6000 points in farmville will NOT stop a kid from failing his math exam (or any other for that matter).
By my personal opinion, these are the two most common forms of entertainment and they are seeping out our energy, and our brains. So step outside your house people, go plant some real trees, meet some real people, dont loose out on your own family and remember, real people can be fun too!
