Less tv Although everyone spends most of their time watching television, we should all restrict the number of hours we watch TV daily. We would get more exercise, communication skills among young people would improve and student achievement would increase.
Less TV means everyone would get more exercise and decrease obesity because we would spend more time exercising. Not everybody can get out and do things because of being tired from working all day , being broke ,depression ,health issues and the weather also gets in the way too, so we just watch TV all day instead. But for any reason you should turn off your TV and invite friends and family over just to do anything instead of doing nothing at all. Survey says that obesity would decrease if you watch less TV.

Last week I realized we always watch TV like 24/7. My family can’t even have a long lasting nice conversation and we don’t even sit at the table all together for a meal anymore because everybody is more interested on what’s on TV. Also last night my mom was talking to me and I realized I couldn’t concentrate on what she was saying because the TV was on. I asked her if I could turn it off and when I did I actually listened and looked at her and understood her and that made me think that the TV is a huge distraction and it’s affecting my family relationship. We turn off the TV at my grandma’s house when we are eating a meal so we can have a nice conversation and so we can all sit down together without any distractions. I think without the TV my family would be a lot closer. It makes me sad that we can’t even sit down all together at the table when we are eating .It also makes me sad that when we do talk it’s about what’s on
