What are disadvantages of watching Television?

Due to television, we don't prefer to socialize with our friends and relatives.
If people relate their own story with some character, it can have bad impact
on their own life. I will explain it with a true story I heard. There was one popular
Indian television show, and a lady had a story similar to that show. Once a hero
of that show died. And she was considering him as her son, so she could not take
up the news and fainted and she has to be hospitalized.So never relate your story
with anyone. Many time children's try to imitate some act, they have seen on television,
which is dangerous for them. Children watching scary shows may affect their mental condition.

The disadvantages of watching TV are many. Watching television contributes to obesity, since sitting around on the couch does nothing for the body. One could be going outside to exercise, but instead they are sitting in front of the TV doing nothing. It also makes it easy to gorge on food. Most commercials focus on some kind of food, in turn making the person watching TV hungry. This causes them to eat, normally the best food to eat while sitting in front of the TV are snacks like chips, which are not healthy.

- Television is a sort of time-consuming thing. Instead of spending time on meaningful activities, many people tend to watch TV all day long. They waste time in watching their favorite programs on TV. This habit distracts them from their work, study, relationships and so on.
