/^t/Television has grown all-important in modern man's life. We can hardly do without it. It provides entertainment, informs and teaches us, raises our kids. If it were all it does television would by all means be a most laudable invention ever made by humans. Unfortunately, it is not the case. Television does much more. It steals our time, puts our health at risk, and finally, brainwashes us. This makes TV sets the least recommendable accessories in our homes. If one does not want to ruin one's health and degrade one's IQ one should shun any contact with television and preferably dispose of the TV set altogether.
