The most obvious is the effects that television has on the brain. It interferes with the development of intelligence, thinking skill and imagination. TV has become a major part of every Indonesian home. Many other countries are just the same.
             Television has various negative effects on our society today. Many People like to argue that television is horrible and that it ruins kids' minds. It has harmfully caused disruptions with the quality of family life, and morality in Indonesian society. I am able to agree on this point, but I do not feel that the totality of the influence is negative.

Television gives us helpful information, various forms of education, and entertainments which are all a part of the positive effects that television has on our society.
