We spend a lot of time watching screens. How much time do you spend by watching TV or surfying internet? I don’t mean to say that you should quit doing these things right now. But recent poll shows that the youth in Korea generally spend about 3hours to watch TV. If the time of surfying internet is plused, I think it could be doubled.
Of course I admit there are many good points of it. What a interesting! You couldn’t find more interesting things than watching TV, surfying internet or playing on-line game. And also we can enjoy many touching and funny movies through TV. You can remove stress of modern city life by doing these. Especially when you have dull time, they can be your best friends.
Nevertheless these various good points, however, there are some things we should worry about. Don’t you think you spend too much time on it? What’s the main work you do in your home? You habitually turn on the TV and computer, and just devote yourself to do these aimlessly, meaninglessly.
You would have worse eyesight than before you started devoting yourself to do these. I’m sure it’s getting worse and worse. With your poor eyesight, I guess your health is getting worse too, because of lack of exercise. You may lose pleanty of time to talk with your family or close friends.
How about reducing the time a little you spend in fron of screens? you will have much of time to do other things. You can enjoy playing sport with your friends, and even join local soccer or baseball team. The more time you spend with your ‘real live friends’, the more you would be coopertative with others and be intimate with new people. Moreover, you can read many benefical books you wanted to read before but you couldn’t because you didn’t have enough time.
Don’t be slave of screens. Just make good use of it ,when you need. It depends on you weather they can be your good friends.
