“I find television almost irresistible. ... Everyday, millions of people unproductively occupy their time by
staring, as if in a trance, at a talking box -their television. ... Marie Winn’s essay, “Television
Addiction”, and Dave Barry’s “Red, White and Beer”, show starkly contrasting
viewpoints regarding television. There is nothing wrong in television itself, but
it becomes a debilitating addiction if not properly coordinated into the rest of
life’s activities. Balance is the key to observing television. ...
Winn’s “Television Addiction” begs the question: what constitutes a
harmful addiction compared to other pleasure full daily activities. ... If a person comes
home from work and occupies their entire evening absorbed in the television for
hours on end, that would be defined as a destructive addiction. ... Former favorite activities
no longer hold importance if it means choosing between the television. Think
how much time is wasted aimlessly tuned into a television program.
