Are audiovisual devices really an advantage of our times?

In our time, we have many audiovisual devices, each with positive and negative aspects: they can be used to relax, but we shouldn’t exaggerate because they can cause illness to various parts of our bodies.

Television is an audiovisual device from which we get information, through programs such as news shows and documentaries; it is also a means of entertainment because it plays comedies, films and cartoons. The downside is there are also programs that are not fit for children our age.

Television is not indispensible, so in the afternoon we should play in the open air instead of watching it.

Computer is much more powerful than television, but very dangerous as it can provoke finger inflammation, sitting for too long in uncomfortable positions can provoke spine malformations, and virus and hackers can destroy your computer.

The upside of computers is that you can send messages through email, moreover it is very valuable for workers: surveyors, doctors and architects use the computer a lot for their job.

The computer also allows you to surf the internet with parental supervision, but that contains dangerous and vulgar websites.

The DVD player is different from television, because you can choose what to play on it, but it has the same risks. Play Station and videogames are a lot of fun, but it is a lot better for us kids to play football or relax with reading a book or a comic.

I think that audiovisual devices can help us with studying, working or with our free time if we know how to use them, and especially if we don’t overuse them.
