think this is an exaggeration. In my opinion, whether or not television hurts communicationdepends on what type of program is being viewed. More importantly, it depends on the type of
viewer.
There are empty programs and educational programs. Empty programs do not challenge people.
They have just enough storyline to keep them from switching channels. There are also passive and
active viewers. A passive viewer will just watch television without thinking about what he or she
is seeing. The combination of an empty program and a passive viewer makes communication
unlikely. Passive viewers just continue to watch, actually enjoying the fact that they don’t have to
think. They won’t break away to talk about programming with friends and family. Even with
better programming, passive viewers still won’t think or communicate much. They’ll probably even
prefer the empty programs because the better programming is too much work.
On the other hand, active viewers watching educational programming always want to share what they see with friends and family. "Educational" doesn’t necessarily mean documentaries on PBS. They could be dramas with realistic relationships or action shows with clever plotlines. When active viewers watch programs, they have ideas and talk about them with others. Good
programming inspires them to change their thinking and their lives. Unlike passive viewers, they don’t want to watch more and more without thinking.
In short, television may destroy communication among passive viewers. Those viewers probably don’t want to communicate with friends and family much anyway. For active viewers who already enjoy communicating, television is actually helpful!
